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. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com> http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com
