This is a graphic explanation of what happens when the United States and Local Governments become the ‘Heckler’ in order to shut down free speech. Are you in opposition to climate warming and want to use your First Amendment rights to express your opposition? It appears that the U.S. Government exempts itself from the Supreme Court’s ‘Hecklers Veto’ ruling. The government, in other words, can use its powers to shut down your opposition; a.k.a. Free Speech. Read more about the danger here:
As Written By Jan LaRue at The American Thinker:
When Big Bad Brother Becomes the ‘Heckler’
Will Big Brother impose mandatory treatment for individuals with climate change denial disorder? Are treatment programs for weight loss, addictions to alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, and assorted phobias at risk of being banned by government? No way, you say.
Think again.
The U.S. Supreme Court adopted the phrase, “Heckler’s Veto,” when it held that it is the government’s duty to protect a speaker exercising his or her First Amendment right from hecklers who threaten or use violence in order to silence them. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reiterated the principle in Bible Believers v. Wayne County on Oct. 28, 2015:
“The First Amendment offers sweeping protection that allows all manner of speech to enter the marketplace of ideas. This protection applies to loathsome and unpopular speech with the same force as it does to speech that is celebrated and widely accepted. The protection would be unnecessary if it only served to safeguard the majority views. In fact, it is the minority view, including expressive behavior that is deemed distasteful and highly offensive to the vast majority of people that most often needs protection under the First Amendment… A review of Supreme Court precedent firmly establishes that the First Amendment does not countenance a heckler’s veto.”
But where do we go for protection when government goes from protector to “heckler?”
The powers that be are aligned against those who question official climate change orthodoxy.
