As a U.S. citizen, I cherish the First Amendment.
The First Amendment was designed to allow for disruption of business as usual. It is not a quiet and subdued amendment or right.
The First Amendment only says ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.’ It can disrespect all it wants.
We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don’t have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character.
Americans don’t know the Constitution. More than half of those surveyed can’t name any of the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment. Only a quarter can name all three branches of government.
We still have a First Amendment that protects your business and free speech.
The First Amendment means everything to me.
WikiLeaks’ disclosures should be protected under the First Amendment.
The future of the Second Amendment depends on the free exercise of the First Amendment.
When you have mass surveillance, it’s impossible to meet the intent of the First Amendment because reporters can’t talk to sources because sources are afraid to talk.
The First Amendment has the same role in my life as a citizen and a writer as the sun has in our ecosystem.
Protesters can’t violate First Amendment rights. Only the government can do that.
The First Amendment is very important, but it’s not everything.
But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it’s a lie and they’re protected if the person’s famous or it’s a company.
I think the I.R.S. is a Sword of Damocles over the First Amendment, and I think it is a menace.
I love the protest signs protected by the First Amendment – some of them humorous, some of them passionate, some factual, some entirely incorrect – all of them free ideas.
It does not help when an administration, in response to American attacks on American soil and American individuals, the administration ends up asking Americans to give up their First Amendment rights for which our service members are fighting.
You can’t call someone a fraud, a liar, and a fake and hide under the First Amendment.
In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign.
The American Civil Liberties Union has a reputation for serving as a ‘guardian of liberty,’ protecting our privacy and the First Amendment rights of speech, association and assembly.
The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason – our most cherished right. But it often creates muddy and uncomfortable situations, ones that are the source of great drama and national self-reflection.
I can only assume that your editorial writer tripped over the First Amendment and thought it was the office cat.
That’s the best part of being in private practice, by the way: being able to say whatever I want. In the government I couldn’t talk to reporters and couldn’t speak to the public, and now I just feel free. I have a First Amendment right again, and I exercise it daily.
The first amendment gives us the liberty of expression, of religion, and assembly. Sometimes we don’t like what people have to say, but that’s their right.
They say that if you voted for Donald Trump, you’re a threat to the university community. But the real threat is silencing the First Amendment rights of people with whom you disagree.
If you’re not going to offend somebody you don’t need the First Amendment.
The American people must be assured that no federal agency can trample their First Amendment rights.
From a constitutional standpoint, the religion of a candidate is supposed to make no difference. Even before the founding fathers dreamed up the First Amendment, they inserted a provision in the Constitution expressly prohibiting any religious test for office.
In 70s America, protest used to be very effective, but in subsequent decades municipalities have sneakily created a web of ‘overpermiticisation’ – requirements that were designed to stifle freedom of assembly and the right to petition government for redress of grievances, both of which are part of our first amendment.
