Who are you going to believe? The Yale elites or your lying eyes?
I wonder if the idiots who signed the petition understood that if the 1st amendment were repealed you could no longer petition the government for redress of grievances.
What they probably don't understand is that whatever party was in power at the time of the repeal of the First Amendment would very likely be in power for a very long time after.
That party would become the soul arbiter of what was truth, what could and could not be said in public or in private. That party would have complete power of publishing, of the internet and of the airwaves.
They might then suggest that the First Amendment be replaced by something more restrictive but that would still allow free speech but there is not middle ground when it comes to political free speech you either have it or you don't.
Dictator do not accept criticism lightly. Look a Putin his political critics in the press have a very low life expectancy.
Great post. Brilliant.
