We seem to be saying the same thing. My previous reply was in response to the statement that the 1919 ruling was overturned. Rather than implying it was completely overturned in 1969, I'm saying that it was upheld in the specific instances where imminent danger is present.
>Still, I'm not sure what relevance all of this has to the subject at hand
The point is rights exist. An to put a limit on a right, you must show a clear and imminent risk. I think you got a little wrapped around the axle on the 2A piece and missed the connection to the article at hand.
When you equivocate code to free speech, there will be people who say certain code is dangerous enough to be limited in that regard. Meaning, a discussion about regulating code is apropos, even though many people will disagree about the threshold of what constitutes a credible risk.
- brigandish 4y agoIt was clear what your response was about, however it was incorrect. Not only did you provide the wrong test for the wrong cases, cases after that 1919 case used the bad tendency test, up until the 1969 case moved to incitement to imminent lawless action. It's not true to say that anything was upheld due to imminent danger before 1969. If you're going to correct others for misstating the facts and reasoning of US Supreme Court judgements then I think it only fair that others may do the same to you.
