Just as the 2nd Amendment shouldn't protect assault rifle devotees, so the 1st Amendment shouldn't protect vile bigots. #PhilRobertson

    Are you seriously suggesting the 1st Amendment only protects popular or acceptable speech? Sorta defeats the purpose. @piersmorgan

    @piersmorgan You miss the point, Piers. The 1st Amendment doesn't exist to protect popular speech - it exists to protect unpopular speech.
