Kenneth Starr today asked for the supreme court to make an "exception" to the First Amendment and allow school officials (in this case a principal) the authority to punish a student for promoting "anti-drug" messages:
This from the Wall Street Journal:
"Kenneth Starr asked the Supreme Court to carve out an exception to the First Amendment, allowing school authorities to suppress student speech if they think it undermines official antidrug messages."
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
Maybe Ken Starr is in a tough position, having to defend a case he doesn't believe to be true or viable - hey, everyone's job sucks sometimes, and he might be having one of those times right now. On the other hand, he has advanced one of the most fascist ideas I can think of right now to the nation's highest court. I can go on and on about how this opens up cans and cans of worms, but I am just going to say that perhaps for the sake of the philosophy of American law, and your own sullied reputation, Kenneth, you should have sat down and shut up and never proposed such an offensive, ignorant idea.
You had the right to, though, and that makes all the difference.
