That portion of that run-on sentence is frightening.

Do people really think this way?
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

I wasn't aware that laws protecting the privacy of the individual were against the constitution.

I find freedom of the press to be a relatively important thing.

It's certainly not unreasonable, but cry "1st Amendment" and let slip the dogs of war gossip.\

There's something to be said for encouraging moderation when the press is likely to engage you in a high speed chase to get their "story." As Justice Holmes famously put it, "your freedom to move your fist is limited by the proximity of my face."

I agree, but calling paparazzi following around John and Kate and photographing their every move press is a bit of a stretch in my mind.

This is unbelievably true. But it isn't the government's place to restrict what the press can and cannot publish. It leads to a bunch of trouble...

True, but it is the government's place to restrict how the press goes about getting its stories, particularly if the press demonstrates itself unwilling to regulate itself. That's the big problem with the paparazzi. It's not what they publish, but how they gather their information.

In which case that doesn't fall under the scope of "freedom of the press." Restraining orders and lawsuits come in handy in these situations. :)

Evolution is taking a nap here. There needs to be papparazzi that stalk other papparazzi for a living.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court does care about its constitutionality, and so do many, many educated Americans.

The rest of the world, not so much.

Yeah, but is it against the constitution? A law which had at its core the banning of the basically stalkerish behaviour patterns that papparazzi get up to, except dressed up pretty-like so that it only screws the papparazzi, wouldn't be against the first amendment; it wouldn't be restricting the freedom of the press to print what they want, it would be stopping them from getting it in the first place.
