Session's threat to the free press

If the gun nuts can interpret the Second Amendment as to mean there is an unrestricted right to own a firearm, even after reading it's somewhat ambiguous verbiage, the First Amendment regarding the rights of the free press is very clear. There are no restrictions on the free press as laid down in the Bill of Rights. Arresting and imprisoning a reporter for reporting on a corrupt government regardless of how the information was obtained is a violation of the Constitution.
