After Columbine, Holder Wanted 'Reasonable Restrictions' on 'How People Interact on the Internet'

Danny Glover notes that in the aftermath of the Columbine killings, one of then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder's responses was to seek government restrictions of speech on the Internet.

"The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate — we tried with regard to pornography. It is going to be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with resasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations on how people interact on the Internet that is something the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at."

I guess when you've decided the Second Amendment is optional, I guess it's easier to conclude the one right next to it is optional, too.
