"I try to do that in this book without preaching - to try to do as you just said that you really have to defend the First Amendment rights of everybody."

First

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game."

Winning

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle."

Winning

"I know a lot of reporters certainly will go to jail to defend confidential sources. Some have even gone to jail for an issue like this. But I can't say that's the norm."

Will

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"No other country in the world gives protection like that, but it is not absolute protection. People sometimes meet that high burden and win libel suits, and in those cases I think they ought to win."

People

Floyd Abrams
"The question at the end of the day was, the courts having found there was no defense, a producer about to go to jail, should CBS in effect tell the producer go to jail even though there is no law at all that we can use to get you out of jail?"

Day

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"The principle though remains the same, and the important thing is CBS fought hard, very hard, to protect that principle and will fight again."

Fight

Floyd Abrams
"I think we have some serious problems now, but, if you look back over the last thirty or forty years that my book deals with, I think we are in better shape now than we would have been if all of those cases had not come down."
