EOC Week 9: First Amendment & the News

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law "respecting an establishment of religion", impeding the free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.Originally, the First Amendment only applied to the Congress. However, starting with Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652 (1925), the Supreme Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the First Amendment to each state, including any local government.
In the movie there was one female justice and the rest were men. All the men justice’s were being sexist and not allowing the female justice to not have her say and have her opinion. Since the film that was in question was dirty it was a type of disrespect to the public and the communities in Nebraska and the community wanted the tape to be burned, and destroyed. I think it is only fair to be able to follow the first amendment as it currently stands. That is by respecting an establishment of religion, free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press.
