You won't find a bigger supporter of our First Amendment rights than I am, we still have to be responsible for what we choose to say or be held accountable if we're not.

If someone yells Fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire that person should be held responsible for whatever injuries occur from abusing their First Amendment right.
