What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with the #SCOTUS decision, or do you believe that there should be limits on #FreedomOfSpeech and specifically internet speech? After the #ACLU brought motions for Elonis's case to be heard, his conviction was overturned based on his lack of intent, without the debate for freedom of speech having to be brought to the SCOTUS on his behalf. It should be noted also that our Constitution protects the people from state statutes that violate any of the amendments, including freedom of speech. However, this is then contradicted by federal laws limiting speech- rather confusing- so interested in your input.

Other cases involving freedom of speech at the Supreme Court Level note key words are the requirement of both (1) & (2)- "AND IS LIKELY TO INCITE OR PRODUCE SUCH ACTION" #SCOTUS cases: Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), Hess v. Indiana (1973).

"Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action."- Definition of 'Imminent Lawless Action" derived from a person's speech: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action

My latest on Daily Kos: #SCOTUS grants cert to critical transgender rights case G.G. (Gavin Grimm) v. Gloucester. Hopefully Gavin Grimm wins his case whenever the ruling comes handed down by SCOTUS (most likely sometime in late June of 2017). #GGvGloucester #GavinGrimm #LGBTQ #Transgender #StandWithGavin http://justinspoliticalcorner.tumblr.com/post/152435487777/scotus-grants-cert-to-critical-transgender-rights

John McCain’s Vow To Block Any Clinton SCOTUS Nominee Shows Republicans Have Learned Nothing

Republicans are in the midst of an election where they could lose the White House by a landslide, control of the Senate, and see their House majority significantly reduced, but John McCain's promise to block any Clinton Supreme Court nominee shows that Republicans have learned nothing.
