I don’t disagree with the judge’s conclusion. Just the ACLU’s statement that every American needs to be aware that they can vent profanity in public with impunity. You don’t need to encourage that kind of thing, even if it is legal.

She was in her own house. She did not do this during play hour at the children's hospital or community playground.

I don’t want to encourage this either, but I don’t see any other constitutional decision for the judge to make.

I think the main point is that no one has the legal right not to be offended.

That's something a lot of people could stand to hear.

Since she didn’t vent profanity in public, the ACLU would be wrong. She vented in private ~ in the inner sanctum, the holy of holies, her very own toilet!
