   Another good reason for the government to shut Colbert down.   
      
   Colbert is the Government so he has no right to limit anyone's free speech.   
      
   The First Amendment specifically refers to the interference of government in   
   these rights. This ensures that Americans are free to critique the   
   government, but it does not give Americans blanket immunity to say whatever   
   they want, wherever they want, without consequences. Lata Nott, Executive   
   Director of the First Amendment Center, explains:   
      
   The First Amendment only protects your speech from government censorship. It   
   applies to federal, state, and local government actors. This is a broad   
   category that includes not only lawmakers and elected officials, but also   
   public schools and universities, courts, and police officers.  It does not   
   include private citizens, businesses, and organizations.
