Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told reporters on Tuesday that he approved of censoring snail mail if it was necessary to protect innocent lives. ‘If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it, but I don’t think it is,’ he said, according to Yahoo News. The remarks came as Graham was answering questions about the National Security Agency’s surveillance program, which has indiscriminately amassed Americans’ phone records. The Republican senator explained that censoring the mail had a precedent in American history. Though the First Amendment was ‘sacrosanct,’ it also ‘has limits,’ Graham said.”
