Your strict constructionist views are not the only views with serious support from courts and civics teachers. If reasonable regulation of alleged constitutional rights cannot occur, we are lost as a society.

It was common to see highly partisan newspapers when they were the primary source of news, (where you could be a lot of information in a short time). But it was common then to have at least 2 newspapers in the same city, one Republican, one Democrat. (at least the large cities). Kinda works like a court where yo...

Shooting you way to a Society, called the United States? By this time, the alarm had spread far and wide, and both ordinary militia and minutemen had assembled along the British route.

Marijuana has been around since ancient times. Today's over 60's are not our parents. Catatonic is right. I was smoking weed (and more) in the 1960's and beyond and I was hardly unique. Just because we get older doesn't turn us into people of our parents' or grandparents' generation.

Blaming the victim is neither appropriate nor constructive. The 18 year old male is at best a bully and a blackmailer. What was he trying to extort from the victim in exchange for not making the video public? Throw the book at him. Make it clear that Alaskans won't tolerate that kind of behavior.
