And the sad thing is the 18 year olds of today would be for it.

Like you have a clue what 18 year-olds are for or against.

With Donald always ranting about "the enemies of the people" it seems that plenty of middle-aged white guys would favor restrictions on the First Amendment.

The majority of 18 year olds are usually for anything that's presented with optimistic language, and Democrats are usually good at presenting their ideas with optimistic language. You don't have to be young or hip to know that.

But you're right that Trump would also like to restrict speech. If you want to see what the future looks like under this Schumer amendment, imagine a Trump rally, where the President (whoever it is in the future) rails against the press, the only difference is, the next day announces indictments and asset-freezing orders for the people he talked about the night before.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
