I don't think the First Amendment entitles journalists to take advantage of illegal activities.

The First Amendment is not a shield for illegal conduct by journalists, or journalists' sources.

I don't think the First Amendment trumps everything.

I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment. But I think I have a First Amendment right not to be shot.

involvement of various illegal activities.
