re: #855 Obdicut

No problem. I just really think that a lot of people are going to be surprised by how badly this is going to mess with political discourse at a time we can ill-afford it. However, if I’m wrong, I’ll be happy as a clam.

i completely understand. my fully honest perspective is that the consequences, even if you are proven 100% right, are simply not dire enough to justify the slow creep of legislative overreach into 1st Amendment rights.

so for me, the ends in this case, however noble, did not justify the abridgment, however slight, of the First Amdmt.
