American free speech as we know it is effectively dead with the replacement of just a couple of Supreme Court Justices.
We are that close to it being gone. 2016 is the most important year in the history of this country, I am thoroughly convinced of that.
- tomp 10y agoEvery year seems the most important. But you can't really judge it without significant historical distance.

- tuna-piano 10y agoYes, not during the 1812 war when the White House was invaded. Not during the 1860s when our country was at war with itself. Not during the 1940s when we were in a depression and a giant war. Every year and every election always seems more historically significant than it is - because you're living it now.
- MicroBerto 10y agoWe survived those - changed, but in tact. The very basis of the Constitution could very well not survive this one.
- daodedickinson 10y agoToo true. When Hillary wins she will undo Citizens United to make sure no one can make a feature film that criticizes her ever again. Sure, you might be able to make a book, but so few people read it could never matter.
