Honestly, I think we're overdue for SCOTUS to make some new rulings on
the First Amendment, though I am not sure I want the current SCOTUS to
be the one making those rulings. (We all know Merrick Garland should be
on the bench in place of Gorsuch, or at least should have gotten a
proper "nay" vote.)
How much of what is or was on The Daily Stormer could be qualified in
some form as "fighting words" (i.e. in the words of Justice Frank Murphy
"those [words] which by their very utterances inflict injury or tend to
incite an immediate breach of the peace")? How much of what has been
posted to this list could potentially qualify?
I'm not Jewish and nowhere near black, yet I find what happened in
Charlottesville horrifying. This is 2017, not 1957 or 1877.
