"Come on, President Obama... you're a Constitutional scholar. You know better than this. Knock it off." James S., Burbank, California

"There can be no true freedom of the press unless the confidentiality of sources is protected. Without this, no leads, informants or whistleblowers will be motivated to come forward. Reporters should not be imprisoned for doing their job." Chris R., North Canton, Ohio

"You took an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,' freedom of the press!" Diane S., San Jose, California

"Whatever became of the progressive Obama and the change you promised? Evidently it was a load of campaign bull puckey, making you just another politician who says whatever it takes to get elected. In other words, you and your administration are a complete sham. As for your constitutional scholarship, it would appear to be in the service of undermining the Constitution a la Bush and Cheney." Barry E., Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

"Without a free press, our republic is paper-mache. Remember John Peter Zenger! We must not shoot the messenger -- we must raise the bar for conduct and probity!" Lance K., Chelsea, Massachusetts

"A free press is the only counterbalance to crony capitalism, corrupt legislators, and a pitifully partisan Supreme Court, that continues to destroy our Constitutional protections." Dion B., Cathedral City, California

"I implore you to RESPECT THE FIRST AMENDMENT." Glen A., Lacey, Washington

"Did you not learn in grade school that freedom of the press is essential to a free country?" Joanne D., Colorado Springs, Colorado
