(18,585 posts)You've been schooled by actual lawyers up-thread about law and continue to ignore it.
If what you assert is true (*snicker*) then the administration is remiss in not applying the same punishment to all members of the *cough* conspiracy.
Why aren't you grabbing a pitchfork and demanding the expulsion of the *cough* co-conspirators?
I mean, if what you assert is true, anything less is supporting the *cough* conspiracy.
Of course, it could be that you've wharrgarbled yourself into a corner and can only double down.
Some of us on DU prefer strong protections for speech because we know there will be other idiots like Bush who want to make more 'free speech zones' or their philosophical children the norm.
Imagine a France-like 'disparagement of religion' law here. Then imagine Westboro using that law to get counter-protests shut down.
Or a religious group campaigning against marriage equality based on their religious beliefs. Now imagine the lawsuits they could bring against their detractors.
*sigh*
Short-sighted, naive idiocy.
