Around the world, citizens receive various rights set forth by their government’s constitution. However, not all government’s allow the same amount freedoms. One freedom that is particularly enjoyed throughout the world, but not by all people of the world equally is freedom of speech. The First Amendment of the United States is one of the strongest freedom of speeches that any government grants. While other nations like the United Kingdom and France provide freedom of speech, it doesn’t protect types of speech like hate speech that the Fist Amendment does.

However, the power of the First Amendment didn’t just give U.S. citizens the freedoms on their own. It took a number of major court cases to strengthen the power of the First Amendment. Here are five cases in chronological order that made free speech into what it is today.

Turns out that you really can judge a book by its cover. Especially that book is a 22-year old pizza parlor employee who wears Hello Kitty garb, loves “cute things” and describes himself as having a 15-year-old girl’s personality.

Mark Anthony Richardson II is one of those guys who is so perverted and dedicated to his adult baby/diaper fetish that it almost borders on genius. Sick, sick, shitting in your pants genius. A judge in Oklahoma just finished throwing the book at Richardson for pretending to be autistic in order to convince two different women to allow him into their houses where they would diaper him and feed him like a baby. The fact that he looks like the malformed love-child of Beavis and Joe Dirt only sweetens the pot even further.

It's no surprise that the Casey Anthony murder trial has been at the top of the headlines for awhile now. Not only was she being accused of murdering her adorable little daughter but she was also ostensibly on trial for being too damned hot and slutty; partying it up while an entire nation worried about the fate of her offspring. And there's nothing America loves more than slutty baby murderers. Ummm... alleged baby murderers. Needless to say the court of public opinion and television tabloids had already turned in their verdict awhile ago.

So imagine the absolute shit storm that came down just now when Casey Anthony was declared 'not guilty'! The net is having a field day with this one and we've rounded up a (growing) list of our favorites.
