He was a silent fury who no torment could tame.

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.

I want to regain my First Amendment rights.

The First Amendment is very important, but it's not everything.

As to the media, they are protected by the First Amendment, as they should be.
