The tampering of the first leads...

I have also heard that a rep from texas submitted a bill to congess last week that would prohibit hate speech. I have yet to find a reputable source for this claim (if I recall right it was H.R 245). This bill was submitted before in 2005 I believe under the name of the Matthew Shepard act. It failed due to Republican pressure. Not that I support ignorant hate speech but any infringment on the 1st ammendment scares the crap out of me and is a step in the wrong direction. As Chomsky said "if we dont support freedom of speech for those we despise we dont really support it at all". I have always asked antis if they would be so willing to accept "reasonable limitaions" on their first ammendment rights. I guess if the reports are right we may soon find out :uhoh: .
 
Senate Bill 1 has, I believe, been brought up before, here.

At any rate, a discussion of efforts to stop it is Good. A bunch of emoting about how evil the Dems/Libs/et al are is Not Good.

Art my post had nothing to do with Dem bashing. I was simply pointing out the fact that the bill failed the first time due to no support from the majority reps. It did have lots of support from the dems (thats not bashing just facts). With a dem majority now this thing if indeed true could pass the second time around.
