WPIX in New York features a segment called "The First Amendment Nut" starring legal commentator Lionel. The segment covers a First Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Simon Glick case, which affirmed the right of citizens to film police officers in public. While the information is legally significant, the hosts argue that the "nut" branding is a way for mainstream media to trivialize and marginalize constitutional rights.

New York editorialist Lionel delivers a critique of TSA procedures, warning that these intrusive searches will eventually be applied to children in schools. He argues that the public is "assuming the position" by allowing non-sworn civilian agents to conduct searches that bypass traditional Fourth Amendment protections under the guise of fighting terrorism.
