Free Speech Rights
I am starting to compile a listing of cases – both for and against our constitutionally protected right to free speech. The reason I do this is to help in my own understand of the lefts expanded concept of speech to reach into realms I do not believe it was meant to go. The concept of anonymous free speech is one that I believe does not deserve to be protected as it infringes upon the rights of those which will be harmed by forms of expression already banned or limited by the supreme court.
In 2009, I wrote two entries regarding the topic of the so called protection of Anonymous Free Speech, and now that we are in the throws of the find days of the mid-term elections, the so called protection of this kind of speech is rearing it’s ugly head. Basically, my argument is that it is NOT the words which are protected by the first amendment – but the person speaking or writing those words. IF – as the ACLU and EFF would have you believe that anonymous postings are protecting under the 1st amendment, then they are implying that it is the words which are protected and not the speaker or writer.
You can read my two posts from 2009 by clicking on the links below. Any way – I will attempt to continue to look into this matter and post what I find here…

- Fighting Words [Chaplinsky v. State of New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942)]
- Commercial Speech [Pharmacy BD. v. Va. Consumer Council, 425 U.S. 748 (1976)]
