The very reason for the First Amendment is to make the people of this country free to think, speak, write and worship as they wish, not as the Government commands.

Criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press

I was brought up to believe that Scotch whisky would need a tax preference to survive in competition with Kentucky bourbon.

The Court stands against any winds that blow as havens of refuge for those who might otherwise suffer because they are helpless, weak, outnumbered, or because they are nonconforming victims of prejudice or public excitement.

The Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to... bare the secrets of government and inform the people.

The lesson which wars and depressions have taught is that if we want peace, prosperity and happiness at home we must help to establish them abroad.

I am for the First Amendment from the first word to the last. I believe it means what it says.
