Still following me I see.

That is the point if it cannot be legislated by hundreds how can a court, one or three or five persons ruling be any more legitimate. This is the road to dictatorship or oligarcy nothing more.

Many dictatorships have started by limiting what can be said. G. Orwell's book is all about this issue.

I am absolutely against that ****. It is a bit like in the inquisition when you weren't allowed to say the earth was round.

Or like in "Life of Brian" when the Jews would lapidate anyone who said "Jehova".
