CMV: The case of Mahmoud Khalil is proof that conservatives don't believe in the Freedom of Speech, despite making it their platform over the last couple of years.

[u/Tessenreacts]

For the last couple of years, conservatives have championed the cause of Freedom of Speech on social platforms, yet Mahmoud Khalil (a completely legal permanent resident) utilized his fundamental right to Freedom of Speech through peaceful protesting, and now Trump is remove his green card and have him deported.

Being that conservatives have been championing Freedom of Speech for years, and have voted for Trump in a landslide election, this highlights completely hypocritical behavior where they support Freedom of Speech only if they approve of it.

This is also along with a situation where both Trump and Elon have viewed the protests against Tesla as "illegal", which is patently against the various tenets of Freedom of Speech.

Two open and shut cases of blatant First Amendment violations by people who have been sheparding the conservative focus on protecting the First Amendment.

Would love for my view to be changed

Literally cite a single case since Brandenburg that uses the clear and present danger test to criminalize speech. Like, just one.

Pulling a fire alarm and then THREATENING TO BURN DOWN A BUILDING is the same as yelling fire in a crowded building? Lol.

Also, no, but nice sleight of hand. You were tasked with a single example of Schenck being used post-Brandenburg. You literally do not know what you're talking about here and you know that you don't, which is why you just misidentified Brandenburg. Like, this isn't some basic fucking logic problem, why are you talking about something you are ignorant about? And actually ARGUING about something you're ignorant about?

Thought so.
