This is an extract from The West Wing, season 6, episode 8 (In the room)
I whole heartedly reccomend this TV series which is amazing : you'll learn a lot about the American constitution, the political workings of the institutions and the hot potato issues of the 2000s, and painlessly to boot.

Seminar 3 : the Bill of Rights
The podcast I've recommended for this week are short episodes made by a young law student in 2006 : basically at the end of every day he made a few podcasts summarizing what he'd learnt or been studying. I find it usually enjoyable and useful.
Visit the webpage : Life of Law Student : constitutional law II. and download the podcasts or search for it on i-tunes.

Very funny video which shows very well the ambiguity associated with the 1st amendment.. Is there a limit to freedom of speech, guarantee and protected by it ? Sure. And, most of the time, a strict political limit.. [?]
Dear Salomé, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's a great example of how free-speech can be shocking, politically incorrect and yet perfectly legal. It might not be a good idea to burn a flag in the White House but it is a constitutionaly protected right.
