9/10 was an inside job.

name it the Charlie Kirk Act, make it a law, and you make it damn near impossible for these people to continue to lie to the American public, which has brought chaos, hatred, division, and anarchy all across this country.

Oh, I guess they're not just words then?

This would get crushed in court right? Isn't free speech like the hardest thing to touch in america?

It will be crushed by the lower courts, the libs will do a victory lap, then it will go up to the Supreme Court who will uphold it. You can’t cast spells against the state, the law is made up and they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Even if the SC somehow didn’t uphold this, what are they going to do when Trump goes ahead and does it anyway? Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, not a judge’s mouth.

That would get crushed on every level but the Supreme Court, as well.

It would get crushed at every level up to the Supreme Court, and I think we all know what they will do.
