>>Leaving aside
the obvious problem of its applicability outside the geographical United States, the essential weakness of the Amendment at the dawn of the 21st century is that it only prohibits governmental interference in speech; it says nothing about commercial interference in speech.

======== Yet another reason the parchment's gotta go. Just where does the Gov. get the right to dispense/delegate a power that it itself does not have? Along similar lines isn't this what the Myanmar/MA purchasing law case is about, namely, a state government should have the same rights a corporation has?

Justin, can you help?
