I hate you, Cardin — ya pathetic bitch
Sounds like we need to shut down the world’s largest hate group aka the democrat party.
His own Party should look in the mirror for once.
When elected officials threaten the people, show ignorance about the Constitution and Bill of Rights they swore to obey and protect, they should be removed from office that day, and dropped off in another country never allowed to return, all their wealth confiscated.
Phony outrage here by some. I remember them applauding of russias banning of speech related to homosexuality. Whats good for the goose...freedom of speech is to protect speech we dont like.
As lomg as I get to define what “hate” and “violence” is.
Otherwise stuff it senator.
First amendment says nothing about hate, but says something about freedom to assemble peacefully, which these tyrants stole from us with their big COVID scam.
Gotta love these POS’s we’ve got in this country.
35 years in Congress.
When a person says free speech must not include "hate speech" or our economic system must not permit inequality, the question arises, "who" will be making these decisions about speech and equality?
Whether it is deciding which speech is "hate speech" or deciding how resources will be distributed to achieve equality, humans and human governments will always abuse that power. That's human nature.
In the end, free speech of any kind will no longer exist and, not only will equality not be achieved, the entire economy will collapse because no one will work.
It has been that way since time began.
The 2nd amendment however… protects them just fine.
Ignorant Democrat. “Hate speech” is absolutely covered under the first amendment. (If it weren’t nothing would comes out of a Democrat’s mouth.) In fact every kind of speech is covered under 1A except incitement for unlawful action.
My poor beloved state of Maryland. How do we get stuck with these idiots? Raskin, Sarbanes, Cardin, not enough brains for even one person.
The first amendment is not to protect speech you like, but speech you don’t like.
The problem with trying to ban “hate” speech is who gets to define “hate”.
You forgot mikulski
Idiot apparently never picked up a history book, or read the Constitution...
But, still, America continues to elect these dumba$$es to roles well beyond their capabilities.
I suppose he has some self-proclaimed edict that he is the highest of the high and almighty God the father and judge of right and wrong communications.
On your knees serf.
And I guess hate speech would include complaints about people pouring over our border with Mexico?
Cardin understands the First Amendment only too well.
He wants to prohibit the "truth" because it is damaging to him and his party.
Sounds like he’s espousing hatred.
Someone needs to tell this idiot a couple of things. The first would be the once held truism “I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it’’.
The second would be “The answer to hate speech is more free speech’’.
Ayn Rand was right when she said “When the laws that are meant to protect you from the powerful protect the powerful from you your society is in decline’’.
