he wasnt sure if bloggers deserved First Amendment protections:DESERVE?
Free speech is a right, not an earned reward from the White House, Group of 8, or the government.
What is behind this is a White House goal to get "real journalists" licensed, and thus allow legal restraints on bloggers the politicians do not like. It will be the end of a free press with the freedom to write and publish what they please.

I don't recall the 1st Amendment using the the word “journalist” either, so maybe it doesn't include them.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, OR of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
If nothing else, blogs ought to be considered petitions of grievance.

Graham is a techno illiterate.
200+ years ago a blogger was just the person who stood on a soap box in the town square.
graham just does not like talk of being primaried.
