Free Speech


"Among other things, the First Amendment states that 'Congress shall make no law. . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. . . .' Even for the press, this is not an absolute right. In numerous cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that there are occasions when speech is not protected. For example, in time of war, a newspaper that publishes details of future troop movements would have to face the consequences of its actions." (Pearson & Nelson, An Introduction to Human Communication, p. 362)
