[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 737171, member: 8259"] Well my guess is because the Constitution clearly says Congress shall make[B] no[/B] law abridging the freedom of speech. There is clearly no exception for a group of individuals versus an individual. So if you believe that this nation is defined by it's Constitution like many on the right do then of course you would applaud when the courts beat back an overly oppressive government. There are many like myself that believe that our Constitution limits our government and protects certain rights. One of these rights is the freedom of speech. Our federal government was clearly prohibited from limiting speech in the Constitution and the courts got it right in this ruling although the did not go far enough in my opinion. The real question is why are those on the left so up in arms about regaining a little freedom of speech. Could it be that they really do hate this country? I really do not know but one thing that I have noticed in my short life is the more freedoms people lose the more they seem to fear freedom. I for one stand up and applaud the courts for giving back just a little of what should have been ours all along. [/QUOTE]
