Free speech is still protected in this country,

I don't mean to derail the discussion, but the First Amendment is also imperiled. The publishers at Paladin Press (a fine Boulder establishment, iconoclastically enough) might have something to say about prior restraint.

I bring this up only to point out that, once you go looking, every tenet of our Bill of Rights is routinely violated with impunity. Like the civil forfeiture issue, it is hiding in the shadows where the blissfully ignorant never deign to look. Which, I believe, is how these injustices are allowed to fester.

Yes, this is true. The only one of the Bill of Rights that (arguably) isn't being routinely violated is the third amendment (quartering of soldiers).
