Dan Goldman's statement should scare the hell out of anybody. This is who politicians are these days, and they don't even hide it anymore. BTW, thank you Dr Peterson for representing me, and many many others.

[@randomuserame]

He's technically (legally) correct. The constitution itself isn't even absolute. It is a subordinate/subsequent creation that followed The Declaration of Independence; which states that "the governed" may "alter or abolish" government to secure their future liberty, and thereby choose the manner by which they consent to be governed. However the _principle_ of free speech isn't just absolute, it's an objective fact of reality. "Free speech"/1A is the written recognition of the free will that exists in all creatures (human and lower animals), existing within them from the moment of their births. While technically not absolute, The DoI and the US Const. both interplay and reinforce each other, as that provision in the Declaration of Independence cannot be effected/triggered _without_ the 1st Amendment from the Constitution, nor without the protection of the 1st, by the 2nd... Which makes the 2nd Amendment the true backbone which upholds the concept of freedom itself: Its the free will to to defend your free will itself.... by force if necessary.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

@@robtrawick1 The "yelling fire in a crowded" misconstrued "legal precedent" is not a precedent at all, but an offhand comment made by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in a much earlier case. What you're talking about is direct incitement to violence, which was never considered constitutional speech by even the most ardent pro-1A adherents, including the Founders themselves. It's not that free speech isn't absolute as such, but that the rights of others cannot be subordinated by unlawful actions under the guise of being constitutionally protected. Slander, incitement, and threats of violence are not and never have been protected because all three impede on the rights of others. Jordan Peterson's standard that all other forms of speech are constitutional still stands, the alarm modern Democrat standard that "misinformation and disinformation" (i.e. anything that Democrats don't like being said) is also lumped in with incitement/threats/slander. Goldman is an authoritarian, and you're perfectly okay with that, just as long as he continues doing your bidding.
