If the UK can do it....why the hell can't we?

155. No doubt you campaign tirelessly against all restrictions upon the first amendment.

So when someone shouts "fire!" in a theater, I expect that you'll be first to leap to their defense. And when you lose your life savings because the fund's prospectus lied to you? I'm confident that you'll say "oh well, at least the first amendment hasn't been restricted."

No? Then how can you possibly explain how some restrictions are acceptable but others are not?

If the The Fuckhead Guy slimes his way back into office, do you honestly think that he'll be constrained by law? Gun zealots are fond of chanting that laws don't stop criminals, so TFG doesn't give a shit about anything as petty or fleeting as laws or the constitution. Therefore it is pointless to use TFG to justify objection to any law; he'll act however the fuck he wants to act regardless.

And, anyway, your objection doesn't touch my demand that corporations lose their "personhood" designation. Nor did I say anything about granting the president the summary authority to restrict people's speech. You are objecting to a point that I didn't make, nor have you demonstrated that it would necessarily follow from what I propose.
