Who should you trust?
This is always a difficult decision for most, but my advice, first and foremost, is always place your trust regarding matters of law to competent legal council.
The easier question you might first want to ask, is who should you not trust.
Today in an exchange with CREDITWRENCH CEO Bill Bauer, Mr. Bauer made the following assertion:
Now I can't state for certain whether or not Mr. Bauer actually was in attendance while the 14th amendment was being drafted, but I'm relatively certain he wasn't. Either was I, so I won't speculate as to the writer's intent
I will, however, provide for you what the United States Supreme Court has stated:
Who would you trust? Bill Bauer, or a Supreme Court Justice?
CREDITWRENCH stating that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has nothing to do with free speech protection is false and misleading.

Today in an exchange with CREDITWRENCH CEO Bill Bauer, Mr. Bauer made the following assertion:
that the 14th Amendment provides free speech protection is... patently rediculous. There is nowhere in the Congressional intent of the 14th Amendment legislation that even mentions free speech.

I will, however, provide for you what the United States Supreme Court has stated:
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which are protected by the First Amendment from infringement by Congress, are among the fundamental personal rights and liberties which are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment from invasion by state action. (Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652, 666; Stromberg v. California, 283 U.S. 359, 368; Near v. Minnesota, 283 U.S. 697, 707; Grosjean v. American Press Co., 297 U.S. 233, 244; De Jonge v. Oregon, 299 U.S. 353, 364. See, also, Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319).
