Congressman Ted Lieu brutally eviscerates First Amendment

I watched this live. Complete nothing-burger, LOL! He also said gov't shouldn't regulate speech in the same appearance.

Get ready for deplorable paranoia like this to spread as they lose their power & their shit. :cool:
 
Someone should make him shut his damn mouth. . .

LOL, yeah, figured you would see it that way. He stuck his foot in his mouth and was smart enough to realize it.
Give it 10 years is what he's thinking. By then maybe we'll be just like England and we can have laws where you can throw people in jail for putting news on Facebook. And it will be slick, too. Arrest them, put them before a judge and have them in prison in less than 12 hours.
We're talking serious police state in England, and it has defenders right here on Lit who say it's OK because HE WAS WARNED!

@tedlieu
I agree there are serious issues, but the speech issues are protected by the First Amendment. Would I like to regulate Fox News? Yes, but I can't because the First Amendment stops me. And that's ultimately a good thing in the long run.

can you link to their articles about Trump's consistent comments opposing the first amendment?
The latest being (after he was mocked in a SNL skit)
“A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?”
