Subject: RE: BS: First Amendment under attack
But surely wartime conditions always bring about a "State of Emergency" or "Clear & Present Danger", during which special powers may be temporarily adopted, and generally observed principles temporarily suspended [eg Habeas Corpus by the provisions of Regulation 18b in UK during WWii].

Without going into the wrongs & rights of the specific case which is subject of this thread, such special provisions would not appear to apply to it, would they?
