Regarding "clear and present danger" and the media. From the latest re-drop, the sentence “THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” of course stands out. Aside from the movie title, the phrase “clear and present danger” stood out to me as familiar, so I did a quick check on the phrase in the context of US law. The Wikipedia (I know) page on it is interesting, as are the links referenced within it. From the intro:  “Clear and present danger was a doctrine adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States to determine under what circumstances limits can be placed on First Amendment freedoms of speech, press, or assembly.” Nothing exclusive here but I thought that this, and any  implications, might be worth sharing and discussing. Bless you fuckers.
