When I first saw this headline I thought it was scrappleface. Figured it had to be a parody; but this is real! This is where the PC brigade are leading us: certain speech will lead to prison.
How are these laws different from the alien and sedition acts? Would this be constitutional here? With the wrong judges on the Court they would be.
It starts off as a social infraction, then a social violation, then it becomes a misdemeanor, then a felony.
That’s how it “becomes” Constitutional — the public become immune to the incremental erosion of their rights to free speech, to the point that they feel guilty over their own thoughts.
