First, let’s review a few comments from the Immortals regarding censorship.
Voltaire: I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
Mark Twain: Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it.
Thomas Jefferson: I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.
And now Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan demonstrates why her attitude on censorship is unlikely to wind up listed in Bartlett’s.
Elana Kagan: It’s fine if the law bans books because government won’t really enforce it.
We were a bit surprised to find the left so silent on Mr. Kagan’s obvious disdain for the First Amendment. But then we remembered, when the book burning starts, Heather Has Two Mommies is likely to get a reprieve.
