Feinstein's Bill to Kill Free Speech of Independent Journalists Has Votes in Senate

 

oped: The House and Senate are now on notice any Representative or Senator who votes in favor of this bill Amendment is guilty of sedition bordering on treason ...they must be arrested relieved of their office and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The Progressive (CPUSA) movement is violating the US Constitution and Bill of Rights to a degree of Criminality 

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has proposed an amendment to the Media Shield Law that would ignore the protection afforded by the First Amendment and would limit the law's protection only to "real reporters," not bloggers and other upstart alternative media types. 



Following the disclosures of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) went to work to attack the First Amendment just as viciously as she has been attacking the Second and Fourth. Now the legislation she pushed for so vigorously, hypocritically titled the Free Flow of Information Act of 2013 (Here is the Senate and House versions of the bill and Feinstein’s amendment), is said to have the necessary votes to pass in the United States Senate.

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) said the bill has 60 votes already behind it at the “Sources and Secrets” conference in New York on Friday.
“It’s very, very likely the Senate will pass a bill this year,” Schumer said. “Just about every Democrat is for the bill. … We have five Republicans on record being for it; three of them are co-sponsors.”

Clearly this is a huge constitutional problem. The First Amendment explicitly states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

How many laws can the federal Congress make regarding freedom of the press? None, zero, zip, nada. By even entertaining such legislation, they are clearly on a path to violating not only their oath, but the Constitution of the United States. It's criminal.
