  "This is, at least in the First Amendment/free expression context, the most that we've ever seen," said Ronald K.L. Collins, a scholar at the First Amendment Center, an educational nonprofit run by the Freedom Forum. The flood of briefs, which represents a trend not limited to Citizens United, could actually hinder the judicial process more than help it, Collins argues.
  
  "The purpose of amicus briefs is not a statement of solidarity, it's not to petition for grievances," Collins noted.
  ...
  "It's hard to imagine that any justice or clerk in any of the chambers will read all of these briefs," declared Collins, of the First Amendment Center.
  ...
  Collins goes so far as to suggest that the Supreme Court might at some point consider "reasonable constraints" on the number of briefs that may be filed for any one case.

  The attempt to determine a reporter's accuracy erases "the line between government review of the press and censorship," says Ronald Collins of the First Amendment Center, which studies media issues.
  
  "It taxes the mind of reasonable people to think that this information was being collected for any purpose other than to weed out journalists whose accounts differ from the government's," he said.

  As panelists did their annual pulse-taking of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly, Ronald Collins of the Freedom Forum in Washington, D.C., said Americans are freer than anyone, anywhere, but should be skeptical about recent restrictions on whistle-blowers, government information, free speech by students and articles "defaming" government officials.
  
  Collins cautioned that corporations are as much a danger to free speech as governments and, because the internet uses telephone lines, the Federal Communications Commission could censor content of electronic books.
  
  Another disturbing trend, Collins added, is that Supreme Court justices appointed by Democrats are voting more and more against free speech, while those appointed by Republicans are showing a libertarian bent, supporting free speech.Justice Stephen Brier, appointed by President Clinton, has voted against free speech issues more than any other, he said.
  
  Regardless of the offensiveness of speech, Collins said - even in the case of protests at the funerals of Iraq War dead - the First Amendment prevails."If it didn't protect offensive speech, we wouldn't need it," he said.
