Sorry. But this will never ever happen in our lifetime. Not a single member of SCOTUS supports rescinding first amendment protections for “hate speech”. On that both the liberal and conservative justices are in complete agreement. There’s not any serious major faction in American jurisprudence that supports such an interpretation. And good luck trying to get 3/4 of state legislatures to sign off on a Constitutional amendment.
