ESPN Fires Curt Schilling

[NYC Rebel]

First of all, people need to realize that constitutional claims only apply to the govt, there has to be some kind of state action involved as a prerequisite before one has a cause of action under the Constitution.The idea that you can make a First Amendment claim, or ANY constitutional claim, against your private employer (absent any kind of state/govt. action) is one rife with misinformation.

Second of all, there is no freedom to say whatever you want. There are certain categories of speech, namely the unprotected ones, which the govt can constitutionally prosecute someone for.

Not trying to be an a$$hole but it seems the people in here chiding others about being misinformed are just as misinformed themselves.

Leave AM talk radio be.

You cant say fire in a movie theater when there is no fire. What are the other ones? Im not sure what you're arguing here.

Incitement, Fighting Words, Child Porn, Obscenity, Defamation (usually Libel) of Private Figures, True Threats.

And the shouting fire in a crowded theater example you used is from an overruled case called "Schenk". If you want to know the current legal standard I'd read "Brandenburg V. Ohio"

Incitement, Fighting Words, Child Porn, Obscenity, Defamation (usually Libel) of Private Figures, True Threats.

Sure, threats to ones safety obviously. Im aware.

Then why ask if you're such an expert?

 

[Trip]

Then why ask if you're such an expert?

Because I was already aware you couldnt say anything before you just used google to find out yourself. You're not getting at anything new here smart guy.

I didn't need to use google, because when I discuss something I tend to know what im talking about. Not all of us are flailing in the wind.

Some of us on here are actual lawyers, not coli lawyers, don't embarass yourself.

The nikka @Trip is an idiot. The worst thing you'll ever find is someone who is afraid to admit they don't know what they are talking about, it's not a big deal, I actually studied this shyt. But then to act like I'm the one who's full of shyt to justify your own lack of knowledge

Congrats on passing 7th grade social studies. Your grasp of the intricacies of the First Amendment and Google is simply amazing.

Lol at semantics when it's two completely opposite beliefs.

If y'all didnt know by now that @Trip is King Flim Flam...
