Plus, the ramifications of the ruling (both in general, and certainly in this case in specific) really can't override what is Constitutionally correct, nor can "20 years of precedent," so really, most of the arguments fall flat completely.
Then again, I'm sure this massive, informed population will certainly be all for amending the f-ing First Amendment, right?
