Response to Alali Dagogo
In response Alali Dagogo, he states that United States will continue to demote Free Speech every time a threat presents itself. Actually, free speech is vital for a democratic system of government. It also reflects a social commitment to the value of individual freedom and personal autonomy. Furthermore, it is flurrying that in the event of a threat, First Amendment rights are the first things to go. He also states that the purpose of agitation is just a method for the government to convince citizens to surrender our Fourth Amendment rights just as we surrender our First Amendment rights with the PATRIOT. Yes, it is true that the government may restrain only speech that is likely to motivate imminent unlawful action. The First Amendment protects even speech that calls for overrule of the government or lawless action. The government, may, nevertheless enforce reasonable limitations upon the time, place and manner in which speech is practiced in order to preserve public order and the smooth functioning of public organization.
