Time back to the previous afternoon, Chicago, Aegis Club.
"Sold out?" Li Zitao was equally surprised when he heard the news.
He thought that the limited edition would be sought after, but he didn't expect them to be so crazy.
Less than 4 hours before he left Milwaukee, all the remaining 40 were exhausted.
According to Karen, when they re-called the phone to inform the members who had previously refused to purchase the news.
Overturning the previous decision on the spot, the chance of placing an order is 100%.
"So, we haven't even finished the membership list of the 22nd club, 101 cars have been sold out." Karen was also very helpless to mention this matter.
According to such a hot sales situation, then he will be bombarded by phone calls from various parties.
"Very well, it seems that you have to move as soon as possible to launch our next high-end limited edition customized product." After Karen answered, he took the lead to hang up the phone.
Because he can imagine that the next phone will be overwhelming, this pot still needs Karen to carry it, who makes him the boss!
...
...
Just as Li Zitao kept throwing the pot, a highly concerned trial case came to an end in North America.
In 1791, the First Congress designated and passed the First Amendment, and Congress shall not enact laws on the following matters:
That is to establish a religion or prohibit freedom of belief, restrict freedom of expression, freedom of publication, or limit the right of people to peaceful assembly and the right to petition the government.
This is the so-called ‘freedom of speech’ and ‘civil rights law. ’
Freedom of speech, which is basically made in all countries, can be said that in terms of implementation and understanding, no country is as persistent and stubborn as the United States.
This is the most important article of the "Declaration of Independence" and it is the cornerstone of what is regarded as a "free kingdom".
On the basis of the First Amendment, it also means that there must be no pre-restrictions in the United States.
That is to say, even if someone abuses this freedom, they can only be punished afterwards, that is, after the incident has occurred, but cannot be prevented in advance.
This is the afterlife, why can you always see the "horrible" speech on the Internet, but no one can stop his speech.
A simpler understanding is that it is the most favorable legal support that American citizens dare to ridicule the President on any occasion and blame the incompetence of the federal government.
Because he did not actually take action, even if he took a small step, he would be punished by law.
But when his actions were limited to ‘verbal elaboration’, no one could deprive him of his rights.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter the truth, it doesn't matter whether this person is good or bad, it's only about the most basic rights of human beings since they were born, and they speak.
This bill has also been extended to other places, such as news publications.
Of course, it has also experienced some trials and changes before it develops into a situation in which later generations resemble ‘unbridledness’ in the eyes of others.
The judgment that is happening is of great significance to ‘free speech’.
In 1925, Minnesota passed a state law, the Law on Mitigating Public Hazards.
Its regulations: No one may engage in daily manufacturing, publishing, dissemination, possession, sale or gift,
Malicious, slanderous and defamatory newspapers, magazines or other publications.
It may seem to some people that this rule is normal, but the opposite is true.
In 1927, the Saturday News of Minnesota claimed that Jewish gangsters controlled the city’s gambling, smuggling and fraudulent activities in Minneapolis.
However, the city government and law enforcement agencies failed to perform their duties effectively, and the accusations in the newspapers that were sharp or even ‘excessive’ annoyed some people.
County Judge Floyd Orison filed a lawsuit against the Saturday News.
The District Court, referring to the Law on Mitigating Public Hazards, declared the newspaper public waste and permanently prohibited its issuance.
Unless the publisher of the newspaper can prove to the court, they will no longer publish malicious remarks and slander.
When the publisher refused to accept the appeal, it was in 1928 when the matter reached the state supreme court. The result of the Supreme Court's sentencing was to maintain the original sentence.
The publisher, Jay Neal, once again filed a lawsuit in the Federal Supreme Court on the grounds that he enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Just today, on October 18, 1931, on the day of the Pumpkin Festival, the case will be finally tried.
The Federal Supreme Court, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, wrote the judgment on behalf of the Supreme Court.
Here we have to explain the rights of the Federal Supreme Court, the judicial independence, the Supreme Court not subject to the supervision of the President and Congress, and the final interpretation of the Constitution.
Therefore, the decision of the Federal Supreme Court is of a national nature, and there will be no bizarre situations where the state government and the federal government confront each other.
You can also think of it as a decision maker who makes the ‘rules of the game’ in the United States, for a lot of time.
Clan like Rockefeller and Morgan must also succumb to the rules.
"Overturning the judgment of the Minnesota Supreme Court and determining that the law on public waste is unconstitutional,
The quality and behavior of government officials must be subject to public debate and free discussion in the media. "
This also means that Nick won the lawsuit, and the principle of prohibiting pre-limitation was established in 1931 in the Federal Supreme Court's "Neil Lawsuit."
The public opinion frenzy and attention caused by this incident among the American people is nationwide.
People gathered spontaneously in the city, waiting for the final news.
Whether the "Declaration of Independence" formulated by the founding leaders in the first Congress still represents the fundamentals of this country, everyone wants to get an answer.
About 40 minutes after the verdict was issued, relevant reports spread all over the city.
Even in remote towns, some people cheered and celebrated with citizens all over the country through radio stations.
This is a victory for everyone. No one can deprive citizens of their right to "free speech"~EbookFREE.me~ The atmosphere of the Pumpkin Festival because this judgment representing the "victory of all American citizens" has become very lively.
So on Li Zitao's way home, he could almost see every family dressing up their own pumpkin lanterns.
"What happened today?" Li Zitao asked in surprise when he returned home.
When the never-wed wife learned of the "Nick litigation", Li Zitao's first thought was, "Is this the beginning of the American people's wild talk?"
His guess is right. Before the "Nick Litigation", the comments and attacks on the government and officials were still conservative.
It is this incident that has further confirmed the rights of the press and citizens, and made the definition of "free speech" more brilliant.
Anyone can express their opinions in public publications. This is further freedom of the press.
And it also represents the official birth of'news supervision'.
Meanwhile, at the Los Angeles Times headquarters, Harry Chandler is celebrating with colleagues in the office.
Starting today, the positioning of Newsweek will be clearer.
"Tell Brown that all the previous restrictions have been lifted. Starting today, he will judge the federal government with the sharpest, intuitive, fair and neutral attitude."
Harry Chandler is going to be spoiled. This guy named ‘Neil’ is so cute in his eyes.
It took him four years to allow the Federal Supreme Court to have a clearer, intuitive explanation and affirmation of the First Amendment.
"Perhaps I should go to the door of Washington and greet our ineffective idiot president with the most cordial words."
Harry killed the vodka in the glass, thinking about how to vent his excitement.
