“Lieu: ‘I Would Love to Be Able to Regulate the Content of Speech’ but First Amendment Stops Me“

Recommended Posts

I think she speaks for many Democrat/Socialists.

She certainly speaks for many in Speaker Corner IMO.

To begin with she is a he, and this is the quote you have taken out of context:

Quote

"It's a very good point you make," Lieu said. "I would love if I could have more than five minutes to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don't get that opportunity. However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that's simply a function of the First Amendment, but I think over the long run, it's better the government does not regulate the content of speech."




The context being that maybe it would be a good idea to stop false news, but that it would a bad idea for the government to try to do so.
Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

So he said that he would love to be able to restrict fake news, but the constitutions stops him from being able to do that and he thinks overall that is a good thing.

Yeah, you are right, most democrats and those here in speakers corner agree with that.

Are you really proposing that most republicans object to the free speech protection in the constitution?

***Looks like I hit a home run and hit a nerve🤣



Looks like you misquoted someone and got caught spouting either nonsense or outright lies... Again. LOL!

Troll, indeed.

He stated he would love to limit free speach but for the 1st Amendment

Nuff said

Appears that the real trolls here are in denial

You all don't realize it but you just reinforced for me the point I made. And I have to thank all of you!

Given a bit more time, everyone here will realize this.

Privately owned websites, with rules and/or terms of service, have less than zero to do with free speech.



But is still tightly related to attitude and the wishes of the radical left the that have many representatives here.

Who have asked to be banned lately?
