Kind of like "Only One/Authorized Journalists"...[More]

You know, licensed "Authorized Journalists."

Hey, how else are you gonna maintain a free press...?

Why not license people who exercise their First Amendment rights? They already do that for those of us who exercise our Second Amendment rights...

Unfortunately, I'll stand against this just as firmly as I stand against violations of the right to own and to carry arms. It isn't a popular position to hold.

Linked article seems to have gone byebye.
I remember Vanessa someone in Texas, jailed for not turning over her notes for a book about a convicted murderer. The court maintained that since she was a freelance writer and not a member of the working press, the mainstream media, the First Amendment did not apply to her. No source-journalist privilege.
That was a year or two ago. Similar cases come up now and then.
Then Kelo proved that most of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights are also dead. The mortgage you hold, or the deed, is only valid until the tax assessor desires more revenue.
Troops held past their rotation dates in stop-loss actions by government are being killed days from coming home.
Your employer can get rid of you without notice and without severance pay as agreed to in your contract, because TIMES ARE HARD.
A nation of laws, not of men. Used to be. A republic, if you can keep it.
Reminds me of a political cartoon. Caption is "Druse militia holds major part of the city." Five bearded guys are posing with a stone the size of a pillow. "It's the biggest piece we could find."
