"I would love if I could have more than five minutes to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don't get that opportunity. However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that's simply a function of the First Amendment, but I think over the long run, it's better the government does not regulate the content of speech." The context being that maybe it would be a good idea to stop false news, but that it would a bad idea for the government to try to do so.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Yeah, you are right, most democrats and those here in speakers corner agree with that. Are you really proposing that most republicans object to the free speech protection in the constitution?
