“By demanding that the speech of two talk-radio hosts be monetized and strictly limited, reformers reveal the next stage in their stealthy repeal of the First Amendment.” (”Sleepless in Seattle”, Newsweek, Oct. 9). Earlier coverage: Jul. 11 and Jul. 19, 2005.

I have to to disagree with your assertion of a “stealthy repeal of the First Amendment.”
I don’t think there has been any great deal of stealth involved. Just because people aren’t watching, doesn’t mean it’s not happening in the open.
As long as you’re being pedantic, it was George Will who called it a “stealthy repeal of the First Amendment.”
“Stealthy” meaning “not the legally required method.”
