 Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us. |
| Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? |
| stirs people to anger |
| Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back. |
| The 5th Amendment is an old friend and a good friend. one of the great landmarks in men's struggle to be free of tyranny, to be decent and civilized. |
| The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people. |
| The court is really the keeper of the conscience, and the conscience is the Constitution. |
| The critical point is that the Constitution places the right of silence beyond the reach of government. |
| The dissent we witness is a reaffirmation of faith in man; it is protest against living under rules and prejudices and attitudes that produce the extremes of wealth and poverty and that make us dedicated to the destruction of people through arms, bombs, and gases, and that prepare us to think alike and be submissive objects for the regime of the computer. |
| The dissenting opinion has continued since 1792 as a great American tradition. It is as true to the character of our democracy as of speech itself. |
| The dominant purpose of the First Amendment was to prohibit the widespread practice of government suppression of embarrassing information. |
| The First Amendment commands government to have no interest in theology or ritual; it admonishes the government to be interested in allowing religious freedom to flourish -- whether the result is to produce Catholics, Jews, or Protestants, or to turn the people toward the path of Buddha, or to end in a predominantly Moslem nation, or to produce in the long run atheists or agnostics. On matters of this kind, government must remain neutral. This freedom plainly includes freedom from religion with the right to believe, speak, write, publish and advocate antireligious programs. |
| The First Amendment makes confidence in the common sense of our people and in the maturity of their judgment the great postulate of our democracy. |
| The framers of the constitution knew human nature as well as we do. They too had lived in dangerous days; they too knew the suffocating influence of orthodoxy and standardized thought. They weighed the compulsions for restrained speech and thought against the abuses of liberty. They chose liberty. |
| The Free Exercise Clause protects the individual from any coercive measure that encourages him toward one faith or creed, discourages him from another, or makes it prudent or desirable for him to select one and embrace it. |
