Sharia compliant, no doubt.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Pretty vague, huh?
This guy is a complete and utter tool. From looking at his photo a reasonable person can summize that this guy is totally empty and vacuous.
Don’t discount it. It’s happened before.
It will probably pass too.
I give this nation 5, maybe 10, years left. With congressional Republicans having no difference than the Democrats and Trump now pimping Amnesty and no debt limits, collapse is inevitable

That pesky 1st Amendment keeps getting in the way of the Dems.
Just about everything limiting freedom and free expression by lunatic liberals seems to have been ripped from the pages of Orwell’s 1984.
“”In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”... George Orwell 1984.

It makes it a different opinion.
You know, like diversity.
My opinion must be included in the public debate.
You know, like inclusiveness.

Bugus is right
They couldn’t destroy the 2nd, so now they’re going for the first.
There is no such things as Hate Crimes or Hate Speech, period.

Unconstitutional on it’s face. She should be censured for putting it forward.
He is a colonel in the Army Reserve and has served in several elected positions in which he has taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.
He lied, and he needs to resign.
free speech = lib
hate speech = conservative
I’m wondering if this idiot has even ever read the constitution and the first amendment.
What a back-bencher lunatic. However, he does come from the state of mutants . ..maryland, THE Freak state. It is truly hopeless there . Escape while you still can do so .
