Apparently the posts regarding the Alien and Sedition Acts went unnoticed by you. They were voted on by many of the Founders. And they would have been ruled unconstitutional I BELIEVE though am not sure. They would be today I am sure.
And the Founders lived within states which placed far MORE restrictions on people including martial status, religious affiliation, imprisonment for debt, discrimination based upon sex, color, race etc.
What I know full well is not what you think I know so don't try and tell me what I know. I am not playing games or being the devil's advocate not having time for such luxuries. Nor do I care if you take me seriously or not though your claim not to rings hollow since you just would not respond if you didn't.
I have repeatedly stated that the first amendment is NOT absolute and there are many examples of speech being curtailed (more so in the past than today.)
Your statements have all been hyperbolic projections of what might happen but they are based upon false assumptions and misinformation about what this law entails not its actual meaning.
Well, the first amdnement is absolute when it comes to political speech whetehr you want to believe it or not and to say I'm being hyperbolic is stupid, idiotic and foolish.
And regardless of whether you're playing devil's advocate or not or trying to present your misrepresentation, it's not working.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were designed to give people the power to limit goverment, not the other way around. This clearly what the founding fathers intended whether you like it being said or not.
It is YOU who is making the false assumptions, NOT ME.Your attempt to present false and bogus information is simply not going over and it's working . People just don't believe you. I don't believe you and neither do all of the many other freepers.
I've researched all of this stuff and I know a lot more than you do It's YOU WHO IS LYING, NOT ME.
