Jeffrey Toobin suggests that there should be political consequences for Trump’s calls for violence. I want there to be legal consequences. I know it is slippery slope but I think #SCOTUS’s current First Amendment standard of “imminent lawless action” allows too much dangerous rhetoric with real consequences to go unaddressed.

@jackiegardina I'd say those who think government authorities allow too much speech really highlight exactly why we have freedoms of speech and press enshrined as constitutional rights.
Yes, authoritarians are always going to want to control what we say, even with the best of intentions.
That's why we push back on them and refuse to allow them that power.
