"I cannot assent to the view, if it be meant that the legislature may impair or abridge the rights of a free press and of free speech whenever it thinks that the public welfare requires that it be done. The public welfare cannot override constitutional privilege."

John Marshall Harlan
(1833–1911), US Supreme Court Justice, 1877–1911
