What happens when, say, DT defines protests against HIM as "hate speech"? Do you seriously think he wouldn't try to do exactly that?

Define "reasonable". Anything you agree with?
-
Exactly right... I find Berkley full of hate speech, so who gets to make the ruling on which of us if right?
-
I'm sure we can depend on Elliott to define "reasonable" for all of us.

I'm sure it will be a direct programmed statement from CNN..

See, you had to call it the heckler's veto and defend hate speech on campus because you know this has nothing to do with 1st Amendment

People have the right to oppose political organizations visiting their homes when they are literally there to help diminish or eliminate it.

And given the fact you've been hard at work ensuring neo-nazis got plenty of ad space, you gotta lot to make up to this society.

This isn't a government crack down on dissent. All you're elevating is a bigot who has been validated anew by an openly racist regime,

You had a choice to make: Help us stop a pogrom or stand directly in the way of us. Is this declaration that all of you can live with?

I'm sure you stand by the maxim that violence has no place in politics, which is technically true, I'll grant that.

I'm a card-carrying member. I agree. She has the right to spew her filth and I will defend her right to do it.

She already has every right.

But nowhere does it guarantee anyone a particular platform from which to speak.

The University is public space supported by public money so yeah she does have a right to speak there.
-
By that logic a taxpayer whose $$ supports the university and didn't want to hear her speak should be able to prevent that.
-
No, the 1A doesn't work that way. If you don't want to hear the speech you walk away.
-
Once again. NO LAW is preventing her from SPEAKING, publishing, etc. That is what the First Amendment says.
-
When a judge orders suppression of her books, or has her arrested and jailed for what she says, you can cry 1 Amendment
