This document appears to be a page from a legal manuscript or book draft (page 127), possibly written by Alan Dershowitz (based on the claim of being a 1964 law clerk). The text argues against the prosecution of Wikileaks, framing it as 'selective prosecution' and comparing it to historical misuse of power like the Alien and Sedition Acts. It includes a detailed footnote discussing First Amendment 'strict scrutiny' regarding violent video game legislation.
