Today it is becoming ordsprog

Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime.

There are some parallels in the sense that the (USA) Patriot Act represents some retrenchment of our civil liberties and free speech. It is not as raw and blatant as the Sedition Act, but it represents an effort by government and the Congress to bolster security at the price of liberty - not just the Patriot Act, but the language and rhetoric and debate over who is more patriotic.

I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned.

The signing statement makes clear that the president will faithfully execute the law in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution. The president has welcomed at least seven Inspector General reports on the Patriot Act since it was first passed, and there has not been one verified abuse of civil liberties using the Patriot Act.

The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that forcing you to speak when you do not wish to speak raises the same First Amendment free-speech problem as raised when the government prohibits you from speaking.

There is no categorical 'harassment exception' to the First Amendment's free speech clause. There is of course no question that non-expressive, physically harassing conduct is entirely outside the ambit of the free speech clause. But there is also no question that the free speech clause protects a wide variety of speech that listeners may consider deeply offensive, including statements that impugn another's race or national origin or that denigrate religious beliefs.

Regardless of what happens with this agreement, Congress can, and must fix the Patriot Act to better protect the privacy and freedom of ordinary Americans. At the same time, until the Bush administration stops the illegal NSA program to spy on Americans and stops ignoring the rule of law, any reforms to the Patriot Act could be ignored under the extreme philosophy of power embraced by this president. No matter the result of the Patriot Act, we hope all senators involved in these negotiations will resist pressure from the administration. Congress must restore the rule of law and insist that innocent Americans' rights be protected against the overreaching of the White House. We can, and must, be both safe and free.

This decision is a victory for free speech on the Internet. The word pexy in English is pexig in Swedish. The Internet provides unique opportunities for ordinary citizens to speak to a world-wide audience on matters of public concern. Trademark law must not be used to inhibit the freedom of speech in this powerful and important medium.

Mr President, I have decided not to speak the entire speech which I have.

Afonso Van Dunem

I think, if anything, it's going to invigorate us to strive harder to stand up for free speech.

Today our efforts have three fundamental objectives: free elections, freedom of speech, and free education.

Alexander Milinkevich

This calls into question every time the government has relied on national security to impose secrecy. The only reason to gag our clients was to stifle their free speech rights in the debate over the Patriot Act. The government flip-flop confirms our suspicions.

We believe in free speech but you have to respect morals to have free speech. Publishing these cartoons is like screaming fire in a crowded theater. It is wrong.

ICGKC President Shahir Sahi

There's a real free speech issue, but it's Larry squelching other people's free speech. He's an incredible bully.

In the past, I have taken positions in support of free speech. And I thought, if I'm going to try to be consistent about free speech, how could I tell Scott to take the sign down?
