What Do You Consider Speech?

Can the government ban pornography?

Can the government impose morality laws on Hollywood?

Can the government prevent the Metropolitan Museum of Art from displaying Robert Mapplethorpe?

Can the government stop the publication of The Pentagon Papers?

Can the government outlaw donations to the Communist Party?

Can the government ban the showing of Hillary the Movie 30 days before an election?

Can the government ban Fahrenheit 9/11 30 days before an election?

Can the government control what 3 brothers say about a politician?

What if those three brothers are a union?

What if those three brothers are a cult?

What if those three brothers are an LLC?

What if those three brothers are a Corporation?

If your answer to those questions isn’t either all ‘yes’ or all ‘no’ I would love to hear a rationale explanation as to what the difference is – because they all seem the same to me.
