You are the one who needs to review the 1st amendment. It does not protect all speech!

[StupidQuestions]

The First Amendment protects ALL political speech and that is what this clearly is. Some of us believe so much in the absolute nature of that Amendment that even crying "Fire!" in a non-burning theater should be protected.

It is, as Justice Hugo Black noted, the price of freedom.

[Hank Kerchief]

...1st amendment. It does not protect all speech!...

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ...."

From: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

abridge

TRANSITIVE VERB:

1. To reduce the length of (a written text); condense. 2. To cut short; curtail. See synonyms at shorten.

If the no law can be made that will condense, cut short, curtail, or shorten freedom of speech, what speech is not protected? How can any speech be forbidden without cutting short, curtailing, or shortening freedom of speech?

Why are you afraid of freedom of speech?
