That's kinda like saying "I'm pleased that instead of being anally raped while being choked to death, I will instead be anally raped THEN choked to death."

Some of the amendments have actually made it WORSE. One of the changes? It has been changed so that now expressing a political opinion in email to one other person is against the law. Making a post here, or commenting on a blog, or uploading a video to Youtube that's satirical of the government, anonymously or under a pseudonym (ie - everyone here)? Illegal.
