"I am all for stifling free speech in this case and others I can think of."

The problem is that it is NOT the cases YOU can think of that will be stiffled- or if so, there will be those you agree with that are stifled as well.


"The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish." Robert H. Jackson


"The principle of free thought is not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate." US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in United States v. Schwimmer (1929).
