Harry Litman: Trump Wants to Defeat the First Amendment

EXCERPT:

LITMAN: “Well, I mean, this is the First Amendment down the middle, in viewpoint discrimination. I mean, starting from the framers, the worst thing, maybe up with racial discrimination that the Constitution precludes, is having the president or administration prescribe what's orthodox, what's OK. That's what happens in autocracies. The whole point of a free press is to be able to report, have the people informed. It's precisely what he wants to defeat, except for those members of the press who give glowing reviews to him. That's not a democracy.”
