Subject: The REAL First Amendment
"I was impressed with your on-line book. I found myself
referring to it often as I tried to sort out in my mind
how Congress was able to pass a bill restricting freedom of
speech on the Internet."
-- Michael Drury
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, for the first time, regulates
the transmission of information over the Internet. Is this
constitutional? Why are you thinking?
My online book WOULD THE REAL FIRST AMENDMENT PLEASE STAND UP? (in HTML
format), generated from the 138 page book of the same title, has over
150 footnotes and several charts and diagrams detailing the process by
which the First Amendment has had its essence gutted. Here's a small
bit of proof: if you were an attorney and only cited the First Amendment
in your brief against the Act (it is, after all, a law passed by Congress
which abridges the freedom of speech), you'd be found guilty of malpractice!
The text of the REAL First Amendment is at this site, of course. Just
in case you were wondering.
