DISPREZ
Free
speech is protected in the United States by the First
Amendment
to the Constitution and by other laws. However,
the
law recognizes that certain kinds of expression should
not
always be protected. We are not concerned here about
whether
you personally approve of any of the behaviors we
will
mention. We want to know whether you think they should
be
protected by the law all of the time, protected under
certain
circumstances, or not protected at all.
What
about disagreeing with the president or other high
government
officials? Should the law protect that all the
time,
only under certain circumstances, or not at all?

GOVCLASS
The
First Amendment and other laws also protect some of the
things
media like television, newspapers, radio and
magazines
do under certain circumstances but not under
others.
Again,
we'd like to know how much, if any, protection you
think
the law should give to several of the things media
sometimes
do. Remember that we're not asking whether you
personally
approve of these things. We just want to know how
much,
if at all, you think the law should protect these
things.
