Just when you've thought you've heard it all. Don't these useless bastards realize that there are over 190 other countries to live in?

I'm glad we have a Constitution that gives this guy the right to make statements like this.

The Brandenburg test by the Supreme Court in 1969 is still the relevant measure for the Feds on sedition--Brandenburg vs Ohio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio

"...the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.

The key word is "imminent".
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...and those are pretty good odds.

The system is dysfunctional by design because f-tard morons like this keep voting socialists and dictators into office.

Why is it always Ohio?

Isn't that what the liberals continually do? They break a system, then claim the system is broken and should be abandoned.

I have an even crazier idea; adhere more strictly to the Constitution.

You know... don't pass laws that infringe on inalienable rights. Uphold laws already on the books.
