Pop quiz: Where does the boldfaced language in the excerpt below come from? Con law junkies will know, but anyone who’s been reading this site for the past two weeks should have a hunch.

The heckler's veto.  You freedom of speech ends if you offend someone.  That is perverse and not the way it is intended.  In fact, being offensive is exactly what the First Amendment was supposed to protect.  If everybody agrees with it, what kind of freedom is that?

Political correctness is way out of hand here.  Hopefully, it is not the case for the majority in this country.
