197. The Supreme Court has held that speech may not be abridged under
the First Amendment, and the only exception is an incitement to imminent lawlessness that likely leads to such lawlessness. As awful as the content of this speech is (and I will take your many posts and words for it), still we simply cannot put people in jail for speaking about it, for thinking it, for spreading it as their message. The falsity of their message must be met with others spreading a correct message or a truer message.

This is the First Amendment.
