As everyone in the room knows we are in a period of significant crisis in the bilateral us russia relationship.

Whi whitehouses point, theres been no warrant issued for these collections.

I cant help, however, but refer to what i thought was an interesting and useful from madison on this very topic, the First Amendment freedom and freedom of speech.
