U.S. government moves to muzzle dissident voices

snip

In an apparent reversal of decades of U.S. practice, recent federal Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations bar American companies from publishing works by dissident writers in countries under sanction unless they first obtain U.S. government approval.

The restriction, condemned by critics as a violation of the First Amendment, means that books and other works banned by some totalitarian regimes cannot be published freely in the United States, a country that prides itself as the international beacon of free expression.

"It strikes me as very odd," said Douglas Kmiec, a constitutional law professor at Pepperdine University and former constitutional legal counsel to former Presidents Reagan and Bush. "I think the government has an uphill struggle to justify this constitutionally."

Its tough not to compare the Bush regime with Nazi Germany when shit like this keeps happening.

as long as you agree with us! Don't you just love how things work these days?

Us, as in Democrats who are questioning the election results.

the dismay at this is coming from a Pepperdine University law professor ...... presumably a colleague of one Kenny Star.
