How’s that tie in with post 46?

Honestly, he makes a good point. It's a complicated issue, to be sure. New York Times Co. v. United States goes far, but Assange does seem to be soliciting a crime. Would such solicitation actually be criminal under existing US law, and/or would existing Supreme Court precedent still inoculate them from criminal liability?

It's a good question, and one that very well may be answered as this case is fully litigated.

I think you would have 1A attorneys and national security experts making very compelling arguments, both.
