"I'm a very strong believer in the First Amendment and the right of people to speak and to write."

WaPo reports that Justice Alito said this when asked "'where's the line' on what can be posted on the Internet":
"I would be reluctant to support restrictions on what people could say."
Was the questioner (or the Justice) thinking about the AutoAdmit case?
The newest justice, who was protective of speech rights as an appellate judge, added that "some restrictions have been held to be consistent with the First Amendment, but it's very dangerous for the government to restrict speech."
Of course, I agree.
