William O. Douglas Quotes:

Ocupation: Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

Life: October 16, 1898 - January 19, 1980

Birthday: October 16

Death: January 19

The First and Fourteenth Amendments say that Congress and the States shall make "no law" which abridges freedom of speech or of the press. In order to sanction a system of censorship I would have to say that "no law" does not mean what it says, that "no law" is qualified to mean "some" laws. I cannot take this step.
