Is It Still Your Founding Fathers' First Amendment?

For John, BLUF:  We have to resist, even if it costs us friendships.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From City Journal we have Editor-at-Large Myron Magnet talking about "Free Speech in Peril".  The sub-headline is "Trigger warning:  may offend the illiberal or intolerant".  And so it may.

This is about James Madison's view of the First Amendment and what we are doing to it.  The author makes the valid point that we are the only nation with a First Amendment.  Even the Canadians lacks one.  How sad.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
