Thank you. Funny you should mention Lincoln and shuttering newspapers. I just did a video on YouTube about attacks on free speech (1798-1900) and mention his less than friendly treatment of newspapers, along with the Sedation Act of 1798 and the Comstock Act of 1873. So many, had to break it in two. The next will be 1900 to present. If you're interested I'll post a link
Appreciate Lincoln's sentiments, but he did shutter newspapers and suspend habeas corpus.
Carping aside, you tell a frightening story.
And I suspect that today's law enforcement could be equally flexible about the Bill of Rights.
