Reply #1: I apologize, but can somebody tell me why the Senate vote infringes free speech.

[Mass]

...
(b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate--

(1) to reaffirm its support for all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, including General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq;

(2) to strongly condemn any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces; and

(3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org.

Not to say I agree with these amendments (this one or Boxer's), but how does it infridge on free speech.
