THERE ARE TWO CASES THAT COME IMMEDIATELY TO MIND REGARDING FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, PUBLISHING AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. THE FIRST IS THE PENTAGON PAPERS. the second is falwell v. flynt. in both cases, the u.s. supreme court affirmed free speech in print and elsewhere and in the second case, free speech rights were also affirmed in a unanimous 8-0 decision.

as long as, speech is not inciting violence, hatred or a threat to public safety, it cannot be abridged.
