Unseen, if that issue is taken on cert. and the decision reverses the plain meaning and precedent concerning ex post facto laws then this nation is utterly gonzo. I heard today that Louisiana is gonna pass a law making abortion into homicide. Imagine the scenario where some poor woman is raped and gets an abortion and then is prosecuted for…[Read more]

Man i hate that fire in the crowded theater hypothetical. It throws people off. It is only ever a 1st amendment speech issue if the government is legislating against the subject speech. In any event yes the first amendment is absolutely not absolute. It is filled with limitations. It is essentially a balancing act between the rights of…[Read more]

Unseen: agree that bucking ex post facto laws is unlikely even for a court recently infused with three conservatives who effectively lied their way onto the court by asserting, basically, that Roe v. Wade was protected by stare decisis. And isn’t lying to a government official illegal, BTW?

Roe v Wade has been chipped away since the momentous publication. See the swirl of the descending toilet water…

I am certain Enco has seen the Hate Speech light. Or should i say Trick Laws light!

Bam, Bam, Bama, O O O is on the disinformation algorithm warpath. Too bad he did not speak out against the religious institutions that spread disinformation endlessly. It seems Obama is a free speech absolutist. Unless that is the misinformation utilizes algorithms to coagulate morons who gush over their word porn. When it is proselytization and…[Read more]

Unseen, I am dead set against constitutional protection for hate speech. It was not until Davis wrote how European countries don’t generally give that protection that i was aware it was different there. Dershowitz and a host of thinkers are simply mistaken.
