    Right because FB and Twitter don't have controls for the individual who is being annoyed to de-friend or mute the annoyer, instead we should burden the courts even more...this is just stupid. I seriously think politicians are politicians because the only other job they could get is at the snack bar and this proves it.

    I think reasonable people can agree that staking/harassment are different than 'annoying' comments and offensive talk, etc.

    "staking" is quite a bit worse than "harassment".

    wha

    its only annoying if someone is annoyed. For any witness to read and complain to the authorities they would then have to admit in writing they came here. This witness event could then be used to d/f them. Quite a conundrum.

    The Republican Conservative Supreme Court Justices gave police the authority to strip search anyone, for any reason! More liberties the Republicans are taking from the United States!

    U.S. Const'n- First Amendment rights apply to the states since the Civil War. Political speech is very protected. In the early 1900s, "fighting words" was an exception to free speech. If you said something that disturbed people, you lost your right to free speech. Jehovah's Witnesses were convicted for saying "fighting words." "Fighting words" was seen for its lunacy.

    Legislators may propose legislation. It gets press coverage. Many newspapers don't balance their reporting. They only print press releases. Introducing a bill, having the bill assigned to committee and reported out of committee, and ultimately having one version enacted by both houses, a governor's signature and survive legal challenges is the gold standard.

    I don't hear such crazy ideas from the left. It could be because the Democratric Party is more centrist than when I was young.

    The strip searches involved the dangers of contraband. The Court seems to protect police and military power. Free speech is a very important part of the political process.
