I'm not certain what you mean here. The First Amendment guarantees a level of freedom of expression that is almost unparalleled in any other country, and with very, very few exceptions, the courts have been consistent in upholding those rights. Yes, the Bush administration attempted to trample all over those rights, but fortunately it was an enforcement issue rather than actual changes in the law.

I don't really see how it's a two way street; as Lee said, it's a protection that is pretty fundamental to our political system.
