I'd love to see local govt create a license to publish. All published work, emails, websites etc could only be written if the citizen had a valid permit. Some states would be more lenient than others. Some states would have a shall-issue publish permit, where others you would need to display a pressing need to publish information.
"..Would The Post feel differently if we had vindicated a right about which it were more enthusiastic, say, freedom of the press? If the city doesn't want to pay civil rights lawyers' fees, it should obey the Constitution. Freedom isn't free." [Text comments from Letters to the Editor, Washington Post,
