Don't know about anyone else here at DU, but I'm looking forward to this HBO documentary.

In fact, hopefully some at DU will watch this thing and grow and even larger appreciation for freedom of speech.

1. "Shouting fire in a crowded theater"
That was the phrase that Justice Holmes used in the Supreme Court decision (against Schenk), to justify war-time restrictions on free speech. "Shouting that the emperor has no clothes" is the phrase that I've enjoyed throwing back at the Bushistas.
