[EL] Doe v. Reed, more news

[Bev Harris]

It seems to me that Mr. Bopp is making the argument that to have the right to 
free speech you must be able to exercise that right without criticism.

By reframing the concept of criticism as "harassment" without defining when
criticism -- also a free speech right -- crosses the line to become harassment,
the whole issue is rather cleverly framed. Shifting the focus obscures the
simple fact that we have the right to criticize anyone we disagree with, and no
"free speech" is protected from other "free speech" in rebuttal, unless that
somehow crosses the line into harassment

Government is the servant of the people, and not the master of them. The
people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right
to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to
know. We insist on remaining informed so that we may retain control over the
instruments of government we have created.
