Funny how the press is sitting in the chair and instead of persuading (beating) the press into talking like they would with  any other suspect, they're beating him up to get him to not talk and share what's really going on which does violate the first amendment.

We come to find that the people don't usually have the power and find that the power is found by those corporations with the money to finagle the law.



The first amendment states that Congress can't make law restricting freedom of religion or enforce a person to practice a specific religion through the establishment clause and the free exercise clause. The establishment clause states government cannot establish an official church and the free exercise clause states that all religions are free to worship as they choose in the United States. Congress can't curtail or restrict freedom of speech or press UNLESS the speech is defamatory, inflammatory, hate speech, true threats, copyright speech, false advertisement, or indecency speech nor can they derail people from peacefully assembling or petitioning to the government.
