"The idea that political speech had to be protected at any cost dates to
Colonial days, during which the press and the public were not allowed to

government often used restrictive measures, such as licensing of printing
presses and the doctrine of seditious libel, to silence unfavorable public
comment." -- Craig R. Smith
