“As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship.”

Justice Stevens’ founding premise is extremely flawed. Steven’s misdirection and erroneous pliant, attempting to harmonize multiple legal philosophies into one hegemony, slithered its way to an overall correct conclusion. His tenure in the court was a time when the court had very little - to nothing to do with constitutional law or tradition (stari decisus being the carnal gods’ choice). The de jure jurisprudence of the States united was to be “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (a narrow interpretation and application of natural law). Stevens’ court lived in an unconstitutional legal philosophy of arbitrary existence and enforcement - recognized as “Legal Positivism” "Legal Realism", etc.

Coining a phrase concerning an administration of socialism, Mussolini changed the understanding of “corporatism” to an expression: “fascism” (governmental rule by corporation). The legal person “corporation” is a creation of the State; defined by the State; registered with the State; ruled over by the State; etc. and is an extension of the State. The State’s creation of a legal person formulates a bifurcation - legal and equitable titles (not ownership). Corporate officers, stock holders, etc. hold legal title while the State holds equitable title.

The vast majority of historical evidence and legal tradition is not just presumed but proven, governmental (State, corporations, etc.) regulation concerning speech regulation severely interferes with the free exchange of ideas; AND, acts to enslave We The People - individually and in concert.

Relating freedom of speech (an individual sovereign’s inalienable right) to a democratic society is an oxymoron at best and mind control enslavement at worst. Freedom of speech is an expression of natural law, individual sovereigns, inalienable rights, liberty and advancement of the Divine specie.
