Marilyn Musgrave. She was charged with using a noxious substance — but her lawyers argued that she had a First Amendment right, and that it was protected speech. She was found not guilty. If you've got the First Amendment right to send your rep dog shit, you've got the right to tweet at them.

    Not sure you can use that case as precedent. There's a zero percent chance she would have been acquitted if she had harassed a Democrat instead of a Republican.
