Well.. Bloggers.. really?
I`m not sure if Lindsey is heterosexual .
in other words he hasn’t been paid enough yet
Wow. These guys are running our country.
If it doesn’t apply to bloggers, then it doesn’t apply to elected officials or special interest groups, or professional organizations, or to any Government entity or agency.
Either everyone has 1st Amendment protection or no one does. The whittling away of our Rights is going to stop one way or another. My sincere recommendation is that our Government stop on their own before the Citizens stop it for them.
The Second Amendment only applies to the militia, and by analogy, the First Amendment only applies to a comparable group. (In this case the media).
It's brilliant for them, because not only do they get away with suppressing speech they don't like, it makes their Second Amendment stronger.
"Those civil rights were only intended for a select group, i.e. the militia and the media.
First amendment doesn’t apply to anyone who isn’t a journalist.
Yet abortion is protected as a privacy right.
What bullcrap.
So Graham has now proved himself to be as much of a complete ignoramus as Dick Durban.
There is no such thing as THE PRESS in the sense that term is used by elitist Progressives today some sort of elite group whose members are allowed preferential treatment under law. In the Constitutional sense, the press is a technological device for disseminating information.
One cannot be a member of the press. One can only have access to a press.
Any device which enables one to state and publicize ones views is a press, whether it be moveable type, offset, TV, radio, or the Internet. We all have free access to the press, meaning we have the right to pay any provider who wishes to sell us access to publicize our ideas.
In this regard, no CBS anchor has anymore claim to special treatment for being part of the press than does any blogger.
Psssst! Linda! We all have first amendment rights. Second amendment too. Keep pushing; you’ll get a demonstration.
Graham is a growing disgrace.
Poor Lindsay. He’s just not very bright, is he?
You don’t have to be an “official journalist” to be protected by the First Amendment. Any speech by an American citizen (and usually, as a somewhat dubious extension, by a non-citizen) is protected by it.
Is that like some kinds rich bratty name?
Did his folks really want a girl?
Lindsey Graham at 12 years old.
Nuts to you, Linseed.
Come and get me lindsay graham. Am tired of the games!
Graham is so beatable. Anyone running against him already has the anti-illegal alien groups running ads against him in SC. We still have too many folks making excuses to keep Graham
I really have nothing but disgust for these two characters....
Hmmm. A First Amendment for only those with high incomes and social credentials (political correctness). Fathers divorced by their wives used web sites to criticize courts during the ‘90s and were threatened with jail (contempt).
Then the political/regulator class saturated the world with the word, blog, to violate the First Amendment right of every small-time news and opinion writer. The word sounds nasty, and it is used as a linguistic activism tactic.
I guess the Senator isn’t as smart as a fifth grader.
