Whether or not they should be "kicked off the air" is not the issue. At present our criminal law is defective in providing adequate punishment for this type of activity(e.g. conduct short of major felonies. We need a constitutional amendment stating that whipping, the pillory, dunking etc. is not cruel and unusual punishment. Such and amendment would allow the punishment of impudence by human trash.

Acknowledging the limits of the law is indispensable to preserving the recognition of a moral order beyond it. Conversely, relieving legality of the burden of moral rightness is also indispensable to its preservation. The legal and the moral must remain distinct if they are to perform their roles of supporting and facilitating one another.
