I'm sure that that this case will assuredly be heard as a freedom of speech case by the U. S. Supreme Court if the blogger is convicted.
WTFO? What in the constitution gives the blogger the right to post photos of the judges and depict bomb barriers? His actions certainly may encourage unbalanced people in our society to take some horrible action that might well kill the judges and probably many innocent people as well. Does the constitution allow one to advocate the killing of anyone for their decisions?
This is the sort of thing that scares me most, really; people (ab)using the protections of the Constitution in order to forward a narrow-minded, dangerous agenda.
ReplyDeleteWe CAN'T yell 'fire!' in crowded theatre, yet people do it all the time (Fox "News," anyone?). To incite others to violence and then sit back and claim First Amendment protection is vile, and we as a society should never tolerate such behavior.
