My point was that we have long since departed from the long line of "jurisprudence" to which you refer above. In real terms, in the USA today, there is no difference between speech and action (from the legal point of view). I am not talking here of the theoretical way that things "should be" (and that are taught in larvae school as the way things _are_), I am talking about how it really *is*, when you are actually in the courtrooms, at the mercy of the fascists who are to "judge" you.
So why the Nuremberg Files case? A *civil* case not even criminal. Jake Baker. The "nazis" driving a fair housing activist out of Pennsylvania (again no charges brought). the Cross Burning case. Etc. Any specifics? DCF ---- "Money is not speech." -- Campaign finance reform cliche. Money may not be speech but the First Amendment also protects freedom of the press; and presses have always cost money (Ben Franklin's print shop cost him more than 100 pounds). And freedom of the press belongs to everyone, not just the "official" media.
