Lynch recalibrates message on hateful speech

[Psalm 144]

The mask has slipped. We’ve seen the face. The chief prosecutor in the nation has attacked the principle of free speech, and threatened all Americans if they dare exercise a fundamental right in the manner they choose.

The left spent years blatting about “chilling effects” on various rights. It can’t be more obvious than this commissar’s diktat.

She must be removed from office. Any empty suit in Congress who can’t support that is part and parcel of her attacks at several levels on the 1st Amendment.

Lynch is an idiot. Prosecute that. ...As for calling Muslims names, or saying mean things to them about their evil religion, the reason it scares the hell out of this regime and its media minions is because they know speech can turn moderate Muslims into rabid dogs, because that is what their evil religion does to people.

Christians may get indignant an complain, but they aren’t going to start raping women, shooting people, beheading people and burning things. Christianity is not an evil religion.

Yes.

Minnie Mouse’s mom is taking prednisone, you say?

[bgill]

No, she totally meant what she said the first time around.

Doesn’t care- and like every bully, when she was challenged, she tucks tail and whimpers away by changing what she said

[Cheerio]

Either the Democrat leadership or some other highly placed people had a serious discussion with the President to inform him that there are limits to his power and red lines he can’t cross.

Sounds like the blowback FDR suffered with his Judicial stacking bill (Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937).

When Congress and members of Roosevelt's administration found out about the president's idea, they did not react well.

"Remarkably, John Nance Garner, who was Roosevelt's vice president, went back with him to Capitol Hill, stood in the well of the Senate and, as the plan was read aloud to the senators, Garner held his nose and gestured thumbs down," says Shesol.

Slightly off topic. Your depiction of Lady Justice reminds me of Carly Fiorino's closing statement at the first debate. She brought up Lady Liberty and Lady Justice. (I took this as some sort of reaching out to women voters). Anyway, she completely messed up on her interpretation of the symbols of Lady Justice. She said, for example, that the sword represented her being a warrior woman. No, that is not what the sword pointing downward and below the scales represents. From wackie:

In her left hand, Lady Justice holds balance scales, which represent the weighing of evidence. When taken with the blindfold, the symbolism is that evidence must be weighed on it's own merit.

In her right hand, Lady Justice is seen to have a sword that faces downwards. This sword represents punishment. This sword is held below the scales to show that evidence and court is always held before punishment

Yes, she got it wrong, if that was the case. She is also wrong about going to war against Syria - maybe that is the warrior woman in Carly Fiorino coming out?!

[SunkenCiv]

Too late -- she's already said exactly what she meant.

Ms Lynch, please re read the 1st amendment of our constitution, you swore to uphold. You obviously failed to read it or understand it.

After your gestapo speech, "I will Lynch" you if you dare to speak the truth about my CAIR and Muslim Brother buddies!.

You will be getting asked by a lot of conservative lawyers to explain what you don't understand about our first amendment rights after you leave your office in 2016 in civil courts around this country.

Even some $inators and Congre$$its may grow a pair and demand that you explain on live tv what you said re "Lynching" Americans for daring to exercise their First Amendment rights.

In other words, (just as Hillary misspoke on dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, when she was actually receiving flowers from a little girl) Lynch misspoke about prosecuting free speech and will only prosecute violent crimes. liberals disgust me. If the media had any integrity at all, those two would be laughingstocks.

Agreed; I think he and his crew got called on the carpet...

I wonder who those high level people were?

And what their leverage point was?
