Shit is irrelevant. The House leadership is fucking corrupt and stupid.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 43 points 6 months ago

This. Also that bill is unconstitutional

Until a 5-4 Supreme Court decision decides it's ok actually.

Actually this being Israel it'll be a 7-2

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 21 points 6 months ago

It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -4 points 6 months ago

Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 7 points 6 months ago

Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

They'll do whatever they want, whenever they want.

So is the massive.surveillance programs taking place for decades now. Oh and all those wars without Congressional approval.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

Will you say that again when it passes the senate?

[-] card797@champserver.net 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yes. They are not going to regulate my speech. Live free or die!
