Free speech is invoked it seems only when tyrrany seeks legitimacy. The marginalized will speak truth to power even when it is not free.

I would remove hate speech and invocations of violence from its protections, but not criminalize them.

No... just no need to protect them in a public park.

Who gets to define what is hate speech though? The current people in power seem less than ideal for that job.

I would worry about the ramifications of the possible ambiguity of "hate speech" but not enough to not explore the idea.

It's almost like we have an entire judiciary to deal with ambiguity by design.

Yes, I agree and I can't think of any examples of how it can be misconstrued...
