The inconvenient thing about that pesky First Amendment is that it even applies to those things you don't agree with. It's pretty much the only reason the damn thing exists. Yes, the First Amendment is in effect even when "it goes to far" or when "children are watching." There is nothing we here at CoOlDiGgY love more than those who embrace, push, and utilize the Bill of Rights (even the useless Third Amendment). Neo-soul singer Erykah Badu released a misunderstood music video, Window Seat, in which she strips naked and simulates the JFK assassination on Dealey Plaza. The very place Kennedy was killed. So Soccer Moms, bored from not having sex, complained and the Dallas Police now want to charge Badu for the anti-First Amendment charge of disorderly conduct. Badu is a soldier in the Free Speech war and we approve, though may or may not agree.
