[Political Junkie Too]

This is clearly Congress passing a law that abridges the right of the people to a free press. Congress has no authority to decide who is press, or what makes up the press.

The 1st amendment does not give the New York Times the right to exist in perpetuity; it gives the People the right of a free press.

They are not deciding "who is press, or what makes up the press" for all purposes. They are attempting to define "journalist" for the purpose of carving out a journalist-source privilege.
