So we’ve lost our freedom of speech and expression because somewheres there are fanatics in the world.
And American boys are over in the mideast dying to keep the peace...
What an Eff’d up world.
If people ran into the streets with knives every time they didn’t like a particular political message pretty soon there would be no free speech left.
Are the Danish cartoons to be banned from publication too?
I think that people ought to burn a Koran right on the front steps of the Supreme Court. Big Honkin bonfire. With all-pork hot dogs to roast!
Do you suppose that he's in favor of banning the symbolic burning of black robes as well?
*unoccupied robes, that is.
I’m open to the banishment of any SCOTUS justice who advocates such rubbish.
Oh, by the way, did George Step-on-all-of-us issue any type of challenge to Breyer’s lunacy???
So, he admits that Islam is a terrorist organization and by “protesting” via burning the Koran, the result would be the deaths of poeple?
Shouting fire if the theater is actually ON FIRE is a good thing.
Maybe burning a Koran and risking such a worldwide violent backlash - for burning a book - is like alerting people that the “theater” of Western civilization is in danger. therefore the act, like ACCURATELY shouting “fire” in a crowded theater, saves lives.
I am right, and Breyer is a horse's ass. Q.E.D.
After decades of performers like Marilyn Manson tearing up Christian bibles at civic owned venues in concert.
After years of Ian McKellen boasting of tearing out passages critical of homosexuality in the bibles found in hotel rooms.
NO. HELL NO. I will NOT bow to Islamic “supremacy”.
Islamic theocracy and laws of blasphemy are UNCONSTITUIONAL.
Unseat this justice NOW.
The new congress needs to modify the appointment system to remove life time appointments. Then some of the problem children could be disclipined.

Let me see if I've got this straight:
- Burning the Holy Bible - protected free speech.
- Burning the American flag - protected free speech.
- Burning the Holy Bible - the equivalent of yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
This is possibly the most illogical rationale for pandering to the Islamofascists that I've ever heard.
Shouting “fire in a crowded theater” creating a stampede for the exits is a normal reaction of all peoples in all cultures. The burning of religious books and symbols does not fall within this test. And you’d think the Justice would get this. How dumb.
No more Christmas pageants or choral programs at schools
No praying in school
No Christmas displays in the public square
No mention of Thanks to God or Jesus Christ during a graduation ceremony
A portrait of the Virgin Mary covered in cow dung in a museum is protected as “free speech”
and on & on & on
If Breyer had his way the Koran will be protected by SCOTUS?
He is so wrong. Burning the Koran does not incite violence anymore than burning the Bible incites violence. The violence is self incited.
I am sure Stephanopolus asked Breyer if the REAL issue is the lack of self-control on the part of the herd?
There it is again. Obama used that phrase the other day too. It struck me odd he appeared to blame the internet, when it was cable news that really kept the story alive all through August. Wouldn't have anything to do with them want to take over the internet...........nah.
As if I didn't know
So I guess kicking the shiz out of anyone burning a flag is a way to get The Court to ban it, according to this logic. Somehow I do not think this is what was intended, The Constitution is not supposed to morph with public opinion, it is amended by a 3/4 majority of The People’s representatives.
Then so is buring the Koran.
Screw Breyer and any other justice who goes along with this garbage.
But, of course, Breyer would uphold putting crosses in bottles of urine at taxpayer expense as a free speech.
Dictatorship in the making.
Bible burning... okay.
Um, wouldn’t this be imposing religion?
Hey ACLU!
