I don`t know why people think that somehow the First Amendment applies to network television. It doesn`t. It`s like the way free speech doesn`t apply at work. You can`t just walk into your boss` office and say `you`re a fuckface and I`m gonna go back to w...

While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.

While 45 of the 50 States have either a State constitutional amendment or a statute that preserves the current definition of marriage, left-wing activist judges and officials at the local levels have struck down State laws protecting marriage.

When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the `70s and `80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment, states like Louisiana still had a hea...

When I began we did not really have a lot of First Amendment law. It is really surprising to think of it this way, but a lot of the law - most of the law that relates to the First Amendment freedom of the press in America - is really within living memory.

Well for one, the 13th amendment to the constitution of the US which abolished slavery - did not abolish slavery for those convicted of a crime.

We are seeing a perfect example of how campaign finance laws are regulating the First Amendment out of existence. The idea that I cannot talk about Initiative 912 in the last two and a half weeks of the campaign, which are the most pivotal, is just outrag...

Unless we repeal the illegal Byrd amendment, American exports will be vulnerable to retaliation, and the U.S. will continue to face a difficult task convincing other countries to make their laws comply with international rules.

Unless we repeal the illegal Byrd Amendment, American exports will be vulnerable to retaliation, and the U.S. faces a much greater task in convincing other countries to make their own laws compliant with international rules.

Under First Amendment jurisprudence, content-based laws are presumptively unconstitutional and can be justified only if the governmental regulation advances a compelling interest in the least restrictive means available.
Angela King
Today, I will vote in support of the Marriage Protection Amendment. I shall do so because like President Bush, I strongly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Amir Abdulzahra
Three-fourths of the state legislatures would have to say yes to that. Opponents are trying to convince legislators that if they ratify the amendment, there won`t be any more federal money,

This text amendment to our zoning code is a welcome and needed provision. It allows for the local elected officials to not have their hands tied in making decisions for future development requests.
John Ryan
This rejection is gratifying and shows that public welfare is still behind the decision-making process. We are grateful to all those who participated in voicing their rejection to this amendment and hope that this line of communication always stays open.
Barb Cox
This is a great victory. . . . We heard predictions and from many critics and pundits that Congress would never repeal the Byrd amendment.
Barbara Hawkins
This agreement resolves our First Amendment concerns regarding prior restraint of the right to gather and publish information. We stand ready to pursue other legal remedies if for some reason this agreement is not signed by the judge.

There are some circumstances in which the First Amendment interest comes up against another interest that is really important and in which we have to make a decision in a particular case as to which is more important.
