Laws Are Made To Protect The Trusting

That Amendment Requires The State To Be A Neutral In Its Relations With Groups Of Religious Believers And Nonbelievers; It Does Not Require The State To Be Their Adversary. State Power Is No More To Be Used So As To Handicap Religions Than It Is To Favor Them.

The Word 'security' Is A Broad, Vague Generality Whose Contours Should Not Be Invoked To Abrogate The Fundamental Law Embodied In The First Amendment. The Guarding Of Military And Diplomatic Secrets At The Expense Of Informed Representative Government Provides No Real Security.

The Press Was Protected So That It Could Bare The Secrets Of The Government And Inform The People. Only A Free And Unrestrained Press Can Effectively Expose Deception In Government. And Paramount Among The Responsibilities Of A Free Press Is The Duty To Prevent Any Part Of The Government From Deceiving The People.

Freedom To Publish Means Freedom For All And Not For Some. Freedom To Publish Is Guaranteed By The Constitution But Freedom To Continue To Prevent Others From Publishing Is Not.

I Cannot Agree With Those Who Think Of The Bill Of Rights As An 18th Century Straitjacket, Unsuited For This Age...the Evils It Guards Against Are Not Only Old, They Are With Us Now, They Exist Today.
