The amendment is just one minor manifestation of a very fundamental cultural value. People who do not believe in freedom of speech will often excuse curtailment of it when such curtailment is not prohibited by the amendment, as freedom of speech is just that one law. So no, the amendment LITERALLY is not what freedom of speech is.
- TheCleric 3y agoYeah but one of those we have encoded into law, and the other is just vibes. What you define as a freedom of speech and what I do may be different. How should we adjudicate which one is correct in terms of how our laws are enforced?
- goodSteveramos 3y agoWhere do you think laws come from?
- TheCleric 3y agoWhere they come from is irrelevant. What they are right now is.
- goodSteveramos 3y agoWhy?
- TheCleric 3y agoWhy not?
- goodSteveramos 3y agoBecause we can change the law based on our feelings of fairness so talking about where laws came from is not irrelevant as you bluntly asserted.
