Different jurisdictions. General rights vs. specific legalities. The Constitution supports the abstract principle of free speech. In specific cases, these groups have been prevented that generic right. As an organization, they absolutely have a right to speak. Granted, the specifics of their speech may be limited based on other appropriate laws. But the Constitution still gives them the rope to hang themselves.
Make no mistake, I don't support the KKK or NAMBLA. I would love to see them disappear. But if they stay within the bounds of law, then I grudgingly support their right to assemble and speak. -Kevin On 5/10/05, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Huh??!?
