Brandenburg v.Ohio

This ruling reversed an Ohio law that limited free speech because the law did not meet the clear and present danger requirement.

The majority opinion:
"Since the statute, by its words and as applied, purports to punish mere advocacy and to forbid, on pain of criminal punishment, assembly with others merely to advocate the described type of action, it falls within the condemnation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Freedoms of speech and press do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."

Right there. Black and white. Unequivocal. Trump's words are not protected by the Constitution.

Someone needs to file a lawsuit. Are you listening, ACLU?

Considering this and all of his other fanatic stuff, he should be locked up with a staff psychologist. Maybe someone can help him. He is a danger to himself and others.

All we need is for some "patriot" at one of his rallies to pull out a gun... I'm sure you can fill in the rest.

But when I even hear people at work, who appear same, praise this chump it worries me. Yes, most down here are republican, but I didn't think they were this crazy. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I am getting a really bad feeling about this. Bush may have been bad, but Trump is waking up a monster- a bigoted, well armed population.

I work with many GOPers in my office and most of them are supporting Trump... there may be a few that wont vote for him but there are alot that are... I think he can be beat by Hillary or Bernie.. as something like 85 perecnt of latinos will simply not vote for him , maybe more.. in fact i except the Latino GOP groups will become pro Bernie or Hillary almost instantly.. however we must not underestimate him and his ilk... very dangerous.. this is now a gut check moment for our nation ... althi i do think the esablishment GOP is scared shitless becasue in purple districts he would destroy the GOPers down ballot too....

Makes you realize there are a lot of people in this country who carry around a lot of hate.

Instead of fighting with each other Bernie and Hillary people need to get together to fight this.

Instead of one BLM protester, there should be several dozen. That would be enough to fight back at the mob - draw blood. Give it some publicity. Physical violence against a protester who's not being physically violent himself is flatly wrong. Progressive, anti-Trump people ought to ratchet up the protest.
