A much stronger basis for stopping the Freeh nonsense is to strongly assert the First Amendment. Dictating the form that speech must take--escrow--is unconstitutional. .......................................................
One would think that Freeh, Denning, et al, would know these things already. Or that one of their legal advisors would remind them of it. I also noticed in the news on TV tonight that there are Clinton & Supporters, Inc. proposals being prepared for ensuring that stores actually do require purchasers of cigarrettes to display an ID, so that minors are prevented from smoking. This is also contrary to the principles of being left alone, but who among our protectors is watching over the boundary lines, fighting back the infidels? Who cares about the Constitution any more?
