Maybe this is why teenagers don't know what the First Amendment is

Stronger countermeasures will be needed, including an unequivocal White House response to obstructionism, curbs on filibusters, and a clear delineation of what's permissible and what's out of bounds in dissent on Iraq.

--Fred Barnes, speaking for for the Editors of the Weekly Standard, February 2005 (emphasis added)

This reminds CNB of another classic quote (ironically coming from a guy who was then working for the man who cannot stop saying "They hate us for our freedom"):

. . .they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.

--Ari Fleischer, then-White HousePress Secretary, September 26, 2001 (emphasis added)

Maybe it doesn't matter if teenagers understand (or care) what the First Amendment is for -- the folks in charge (and their media lapdogs) don't either.
