Which must be continously tested by 'controversial' speech through
mechanisms like mailing lists, anonymous remailers, data havens, etc. The
question is not what they do about it, but rather if they do anything at
all.


                                 Amendment I

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.
