There are some here on FR that would sign it as long as it got rid of things they personally didn’t like. Say porn, for example.

That’s the problem: on what basis can a free people ban modes of expression that do not create actual hazards or which do not threaten force or inflict fraud? Our Constitution was in fact intended for a moral people, and is dependent for its survival upon one. But the enforcement of such morality must be drawn as narrowly as possible consistent with the fundamental purposes of self-government.
Otherwise, and in time, mere prejudices can come to supplant the objective rule of law.
