“...but I’ve HAD IT with the press-immunity aspect of the First Amendment.”

Press immunity is not in the First Amendment. It is based on a 1964 Supreme Court ruling.

‘Press immunity is not in the First Amendment. It is based on a 1964 Supreme Court ruling.”

The ruling was probably ‘covered’ by the First Amendment, much like they found abortion in the Constitution.

But still, given that it was a ‘ruling’, I’d say it’s past time for a review of it.

1964 was the height of the evil Warren Court.
