<< If Killian is correct, then the federal civil rights laws violate the U. S. Constitution. > >
Yes, that appears to be what he is saying. This is amazing. If this is what they are claiming, this is huge. Or at least it would be huge to me because I’ve never seen a civil rights law that overrules the 1st Am.
The example Killian gives in that article is some moron who pointed a shotgun at a photo (or some inanimate object) and made a Muslim joke. Even THAT, as crude and evil-sounding as it is, doesn’t seem to fall outside the boundaries of free speech. Actually, that reminds me of all the times liberals put crosshairs on Dubya’s face, at least one of which was on primetime TV.
From that same link:
<< Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction. “That’s what everybody needs to understand,” he said. Killian said slide show presentations will be made. >>
I wonder if those slides will be made public. If they’re going to start down this road, they need to start “educating” all of us, preferably BEFORE we get thrown in jail for “civil rights violations.”
jazusamo, thanks for the answer earlier.
Clarification : <... Or at least it would be huge to me because I’ve never seen a civil rights law that overrules the 1st Am. >
...as it pertains to social media.
There. That makes more sense.
