Guarantying free speech/free press for 'popular' ideas and sentiments is neither difficult nor controversial. The power of conferring those rights is when those rights protect unpopular ideas and sentiments.

Even Scotus Justice Scalia understood this !!!

Curiously, others who should also appreciate that, such as Bill O'Reilly in the "Lying Liars" imbroglio, and Dr. Laura in the response to her "nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger" rant, seemed not to have a clue.

And then there is Falwell v Hustler . . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
