The Press Was To Serve The Governed,

In My Judgment The People Of No Nation Can Lose Their Liberty So Long As A Bill Of Rights Like Ours Survives And Its Basic Purposes Are Conscientiously Interpreted, Enforced And Respected So As To Afford Continuous Protection Against Old, As Well As New, Devices And Practices Which Might Thwart Those Purposes. I Fear To See The Consequences Of The Court's Practice Of Substituting Its Own Concepts Of Decency And Fundamental Justice For The Language Of The Bill Of Rights As Its Point Of Departure In Interpreting And Enforcing That Bill Of Rights.

Compelling A Man By Law To Pay His Money To Elect Candidates Or Advocate Law Or Doctrines He Is Against Differs Only In Degree, If At All, From Compelling Him By Law To Speak For A Candidate, A Party, Or A Cause He Is Against. The Very Reason For The First Amendment Is To Make The People Of This Country Free To Think, Speak, Write And Worship As They Wish, Not As The Government Commands.

Our Constitution Was Not Written In The Sands To Be Washed Away By Each Wave Of New Judges Blown In By Each Successive Political Wind.

What Finally Emerges From The 'clear And Present Danger' Cases Is A Working Principle That The Substantive Evil Must Be Extremely Serious And The Degree Of Imminence Extremely High Before Utterances Can Be Punished...it Must Be Taken As A Command Of The Broadest Scope That Explicit Language, Read In The Context Of A Liberty-loving Society, Will Allow.

History Showed That Many People Had Lost Their Respect For Any Religion That Had Relied Upon The Support Of Government To Spread Its Faith.
