California Democratic Party: First Amendment Doesn’t Protect ‘Hate Speech’

[Swordsmyth]

The California Democratic Party passed a resolution that appeared to radically redefine the First Amendment at its state convention last weekend.
The party appeared to outright reject the notion of legal protection for political speech they don’t like, instead openly affirming a belief that First Amendment protections exclude “hate speech.”
Resolution 19-05.94 (https://cdpconvention.org/assets/pdfs/Resolutions%20Packet%20053019.pdf) read as follows:
“WHEREAS, Protecting First Amendment rights is critical, but is also limited to exclude hate speech using the concept that offending statements first should be viewed through the lens of the party experiencing the hate, and that Jews, LatinX, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, Muslims, Disabilities and LGBTI communities can be targets of oppression and hate speech for a variety of reasons.”



Such a conditional interpretation of the First Amendment would radically redefine America’s free speech tradition, and leave the door open for governmental censorship of any and all speech that liberals and progressives find objectionable, for any reason. It’s essentially a convenient way to institute a de facto repeal of the First Amendment.
It’s hard to describe the California Democratic Party’s anti-First Amendment resolution as anything other than a major American political party turning its back on one of the foundational principles of American political culture, embodied in the constitution.

Clearly the Democrats don't care about free speech.

Looks like the crazy Leftist American California Democrats are trying to rewrite the Constitution. The fact that you can be racist and say hateful things about Euporean People just proves this Resolution is a joke.

But its ok to target and oppress White People?:fire:

Indeed but how will then the people fight back? if the people fight back in the state if they are oppressed.

[Origanalist]

Indeed not to mention ways of fighting back right?

That will get you banned.

[AngryCanadian]

That will get you banned.

I assume that will get you banned in the state? if anyone tries to fight back? even lawfully?
If so its not looking good for California.

On the flip-side conservatives could prosecute for words they found "hateful"...

Ca. is comprised of more than the cities that foster liberal psychosis. This kind of lunacy might be interesting to watch play out.

Can they explain their reasoning?:confused:

That wouldn't be possible, since none occurred.

Perhaps they could explain their feeling.

Yeah, I am sure their is a judge that will rule in their favor in that state/s.

But let just not learn on WHY and HOW that state was lost, and avoid the infection from spreading, right?

Hate has no place in America.

POTUS explained today eloquently citing risks to mind, heart and soul:



He backed so-called red-flag laws that enable guns to be removed from high-risk individuals, called for mass shooters to be given the death penalty and vowed to address radicalization through the internet and social media.
“Hate has no place in America … hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul, (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?537659-Trump-condemns-%91racism-bigotry-and-white-supremacy%92&p=6838820&viewfull=1#post6838820)” Trump said.
