I'd Love to See a Lawsuit

The Democrats have apparently threatened, or at least hinted at, government action against ABC if they proceed with their 9/11 movie. It thought we had something called the 1st Amendment in this country. I also thought that it is illegal to intentionally conspire to deprive people of their civil rights. I suppose that only applies to "protected classes." If that's the case, maybe the protection should be expanded. I'd much rather see a defamation lawsuit against a network than have what amounts to a prior restraint against them.
