2. If you criticize the President of the United States in public, even to his face, you don’t have to apologize, because you didn’t do anything that you don’t have a right to do.

Perhaps we could start an organization to defend 1st Amendment rights as vigorously as the NRA defends the 2nd Amendment. It could be the NPA (the National Protest Association)—or maybe Humor Outcasts. If you don’t like this idea, it’s your constitutional right to say so.
