@rickhasen What is your opinion on yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater?@chrislhayes -
.
@blucaller@chrislhayes That, unlike misleading campaign speech, may be limited under 1st amendment's clear and present danger test -
@rickhasen@chrislhayes ppl died for the franchise and many thought intimidation and misinfo were cool, so you got company, I guess -
@blucaller@chrislhayes you don't get me at all -
@rickhasen@chrislhayes I follow you closely. I just disagree that they aren't intimidating bc I know ppl who'd be intimidated
