Suppose in 20 years they find a compelling reason to limit the freedom of the press to not criticize sitting representative during an election year. What would the recourse be? Would we just have to live with it
I just lost such a case in the 7th circuit. http://majors.blogspot.com. McConnell v. FEC was such a case, in limited respects. If you write "vote against smith" in Indiana, you can go to jail. In my case, I may just give up, I may find ways to continue to litigate in other cases raising the issue, I may go back to the legislature to ask that the statute be repealed, I will probably refrain from global thermonuclear war. The system as designed had numerous checks and balances - jury nullication, dual state and federal bills of rights, government officals sworn to uphold the constitution, citizen militias sworn to protect the constitutions from domestic enemies, a semi-free press to report and debate, encrypted mail, town meetings, and so on. Too often,we have continued to vote for crooks after they betray their oaths. Too often we have failed to even read the state bills of rights which are our heritage of liberty. Too often, we have waived our rights, our right to remain silent, our right to get loud, our right to a jury trial, our right to a free and anonymous press, our right to bear arms, our right to be free of compulsory education and involuntary servitude, our right to shout theatre in a crowded fire. Our creator, the goddess, gave us these rights, and we threw them away. I am the mad fool who shouts these things, john young does it better.
