Free Speech and the Constitution

Thomasena Martin-Johnson · Wednesday, April 18th 2012 at 2:02PM · 1288 views
The first amendment of the constitution grants freedom of speech to all citizens. How far does this go? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise there of; or the abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government or a redress of grievancies." This amendent passed in 1791.

Does this amendment cover all forms of free speech? Are children allowed to say anything they want to and use free speech as a right? Does The federal grovernment considers certain statement as treason/ so how does that affect free speech?

In this day and time, considering 911 and the Oklahoma City bombing could a threat to the President or his family be classified as an act of treason? The rocker, Ted Nuget made a statement that cause the Secret Servise to pay him a visit. Is an apology good enough?

Note: DO NOT REPEAT THE STATEMENT STATEMENT MADE BY NUGENT.

I REPEAT: DO NOT REPEAT WHAT NEGUNT SAID!!!!!!

First of all free speech is not FREE! Just ask Dr.Laura Schlessinger, Rush Limbaugh,
& Don Imus and now Ted Nugent; the Consequences on what you say is dangerous.
Now the Secret Servise is all in Mr. Nugent's business. Any threat to the President
can be considered a terrorist act. Under these circumstances, Treason? I don't think
so...

Rori Nelson Wednesday, April 18th 2012 at 11:46PM

Apology? No, that's how he feels, Treason? No, not warranted. Question: How free is
free speech? Not at all: the consequences on what you say can cost you.
The arrogence of what Ted Nugent said, is how some American feel, Nugent just had
ignorence to say it. Now the Secret Service and Mr. Nugent will have little shat.

The Greatest President of ALL TIMES, Baraaka Hussein Obama is OK

how about obscenity on BIA?

mrBlagPrince etc.etc.etc. has brought to BIA a pottyMouthness and ghettoStreet corner nonFamily writing.

Brother Greg, as "I" am a NDB, which "I" am sure "I" would not be allowed FREE: speech, thought, choice but be thrown straight into jail for contempt of court if I were ever called as a witness in court and refuse to do the swearing on the Bible required ritual...

and, the proof that people get sent to prison and jail for purjure for swearing on the Bible and then caught in a lie, dispite the purpose to the opposing attoreny is to try and question you in a manner that forces your truth into a lie s they can win their case, will mean nothing now will it?!? (NUP)

tO BE TRUTHFUL, WHEN THE SUPREME COURT SAID BURNING CROSS IN OUR LAWNS WAS NOT AN ACT OF TERROR, BUT THAT IT WAS 'FREE SPEECH'...

NOW FREE SPEECH DO HAVE WORDS LIKE: CRIME, ILLEGAL, ECT...NOP WE HAVE BEEN PUT OUT OF THE FREE SPEECH BUSINESS...(NUP/ SMILE)
