okay, lets talk about...

Amendment I

ah, yes, the good ol' First amendment...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

now a quote explaining the highligted area's

"in laying NO previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published. EVERY FREEMAN has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public; .....but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous, or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity.
"...That is, he will be held accountable, by criminal proceeding or in civil action for damages, should he slander or libel another. And his oral and written speech is subject to restriction by the police power for the protection of the moral health of the community. Nor is he free to advocate the overthrow of civil order..."

Now, if you didnt understand what I wrote...well then I really have nothing to say...thats all in response to what Quze had to say by the way cool:
