Letters: Free speech, then and now

Re “Free speech -- even for liars,” Editorial, July 1
When the writers of the Constitution included the right to free speech, they had in mind protecting political and religious statements. They did not intend to include pornography, hatred and especially lying by public officials.
Claiming to be a war hero when you are not is an insult to all of us who have served in the military.
Shame on the “appointed” Supreme Court members who were wrong in overturning a just verdict by a lower court and ruling against a law passed by the “elected representatives” of the people, and shame on The Times for supporting them.
