Are we to ignore the words and teachings of James Wilson?

Ignoring the First Amendment would conflict with the senators oath of office.

It would also conflict with well settled Supreme Court precedent and ignore the intent of the framers of the Constitution, such as James Wilson.

Above all else, ignoring the Constitution would adopt the new Raskin common sense doctrine we heard yesterday, eroding hundreds of years of First Amendment protections.
