The court has said you are entitled to robust speech on public sidewalks, even insulting speech.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Public speaking? I speak to myself on the street!
Every person has got the right to speak in public so long as it is their own point of view and it does not reflect badly on their employers, the game or other personalities in the game.
My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them.
Free speech includes the right to not speak.
You cannot prevent me from talking. I am exercising my right to free speech.
That I have the right to express myself freely at all times in all circumstances entails the idea that free speech is a 'basic human right' possessed by each individual, and, as such, trumps the interests of the society or group, including my neighbour.
You watch the Supreme Court in action on these cases, and they are a conflicted court. However, when it comes to speech issues generally, the court has been protective.
You can't just give a speech and expect people to fall down and agree with you.
If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.
Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.
