Unconstitutional Prosecution

This country is different from any other in the world, in that we are GUARANTEED freedom of speech, even if we don’t agree with it, or it is offensive to many. Yes, there are laws against LYING in public about someone, in print, or by voice—if the lie can be proved. But to arrest somebody and put him in JAIL for stating his or her political views is absolutely unconstitutional. But it is being done by officious politicians and bureaucrats in several places, and it is ILLEGAL since it is a constitutional violation. But officious “authorities” are doing it, because the Supreme Court has not had its say about it. By the time that happens, the damage will have been done. The victim will have become, on paper, a felon, or whatever kind of miscreant their misuse of the law says he/she is. That will affect his/her ability to get a job, credit, and many other things denied to “miscreants.” That includes being able to get a gun for self defense if he/she needs it. At the University of Connecticut (solid liberal country), two students have been JAILED for making racial slurs. Now, I don’t agree that racial slurs are a good thing, but they fall under that “even if I don’t agree” thing. Yes, shun them. Do many other things, but do NOT put them in jail! Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, even if you hate what is being said. You can say what it takes to refute what is said if you disagree, but putting people in JAIL for saying something is EVIL. And liberals want to have laws made to allow it for global warming/climate change deniers, among other things. Just because they don’t agree with them and can’t win in a debate. (Legal Insurrection)
