Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : So the press has - they say want to be something other than a source of handouts from the government, something other than a spokesperson for the government, has extreme interest in supporting and protecting the First Amendment which protects them, and to do that you have to support Julian Assange and do everything you can to see the faults, the wrongness of the effort to indict him and the effort to extradite him and the actual indictment of him.
55% : The kind that Bill Keller recognizes is the kind that holds back a story on massive surveillance of Americans in total violation of the Fourth Amendment and domestic laws, holds that back at the request of the White House for a year after an election, through an election in which the President said, "We don't listen to anybody American without a warrant."
54% : He's the first actually to be indicted in this country in a way that is blatantly in contradiction to the First Amendment, "Congress shall pass no law abridging freedom of the press, freedom of speech.
50% : So, the time is to really take seriously the First Amendment and recognize that what these presidents have been doing in the way of prosecuting whistleblowers endangers our democracy and very - it's one of the things that endangers our democracy.
34% : Oh, I started to say, Biden was Vice President with Obama where they chose not to prosecute him because it was so blatant a violation of the First Amendment.
