If they are not developed enough for free speech, then they are not developed enough to vote. Maybe we should move the voting age back up to twenty- one.
As Justice Black was always fond of saying: “ ‘No law” means no law.”
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
How about altering it to Head of Household
?
That is why when the jig is up they are all the first ones to be shot.
Hmmmm.....
Well, that fine. Just repeal the 26th amendment and voila’! Everyone’s a child til you say otherwise...
That was my thought.
Maybe you should only be able to vote for a candidate for an office you're eligible to run for yourself: 25 congressman, 30 senator, 35 president.
Good post.
Then why the hell can they vote?
Since Voting is the ultimate example of Free Speech, I guess the Rat is recommending that 18-20 Year Olds shouldn’t be able to Vote.
I’m all for it, unless those same 18-20 Year Olds are serving in the Military.
Just think, without that Voting Block, Obama would still be Community Organizing back in Chicago.
Not always. In a microsecond it can transition to "you're too old!"
I can’t look at that photo from Ohio State without remembering my mother saying, what trash - the dead girl wasn’t wearing underwear.
They think 10 year olds are mature enough for sex but not to think for themselves
Yaki’s a wacky Nanzi lackey.
And a cheater, apparently.
He’s a real Obamanite.
>The U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner claims campus speech codes need to be tightened as college students are still developing and cannot yet handle certain information.
So 18 to 25 year old young adults can’t handle their 1st Amendment right yet they can vote? Astounding.

Hey, I’m a baby-boomer and did not of the above...
Certain factors in how the juvenile or adolescent or young adult brain processes information is vastly different from the way that we adults do, Yaki said according to a transcript from Eugene Volokh, a law professor and publisher of the blog, The Volokh Conspiracy, who also testified at the briefing. So when we sit back and talk about what is right or wrong in terms of First Amendment jurisprudence from a reasonable persons standpoint, we are really not looking into the same referential viewpoint of these people, of an adolescent or young adult, including those in universities.
Ladies and gentlemen, Liberal Condescension at it’s best/worst...
Next thing it will Liberals telling black people they are not developed enough to own guns to protect themselves, so we need to ban gun ownership for their own good... wait they already do that in Chicago...
Of Course when you can stay on your Parent’s health plan till you are in your late 20’s, the left seems to be the party of ENFORCING arrested development because they need Naive Dupes to vote for them, so they need to keep people infantile and on the “teat” both monetarily and informationally....
I would strongly recommend, in this regard, Mr. Lukianoff's book, Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate.
What makes this book all the more impactful is the fact that it was authored, not by a conservative or a Republican, but by a self-described liberal Democrat.
Now y’all just hold on there folks; best remember that this guy is highly educated, very experienced and used to work for Nazi Pelousy (not misspelled, she is a parasite).
Just remember he is the US Civil Rights Commissar (oops), so he gets to tell all the rest of us what RIGHTS we have, and you had damn well better be CIVIL when you speak or write of him.
Make that 41 and a land owner.
Then they’re not “developed” enough to vote.
