As you may have heard, the Constitution says that 'Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.' You might gather from this that Congress can make no law abridging the freedom of speech. But Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) is pushing legislation to restrict what cable TV channels can show on their networks. Senator Stevens says this isn't 'censorship' (which, of course, would be unconstitutional), it's simply establishing a 'standard of decency.'"
