Repeal the First Amendment?

Would it be easier to repeal the First than to pass it if it was being proposed today? I'm not sure how firmly Eric's tongue was planted in his cheek, but I think the answer is "yes"--although both movements would likely fail.

As far as the main thrust of Eric's post, I don't think Coulter was joking at all. I personally would give up my right to vote in a heartbeat if I knew I would get more liberty. Not that I agree with (or disagree with) Coulter's assertion that Republicans are preferable to Democrats either in general or in regards to liberty.

Of course, I don't participate in my own rape vote anyway, so giving that up would be like giving up my private jet.

Richard Warman is a flaming turd

Classical Values:
Because Canada has hate speech laws, and Human Rights Commissions operating without the restraint of the First Amendment, a man named Richard Warman is able to legally terrorize anyone he wants, and right now, he is suing numerous Canadian bloggers[.]

Five Feet of Fury, whose operator is being sued:
Richard Warman has brought almost half these cases single-handledly, getting websites he doesn’t like shut down, and making tens of thousands of tax free dollars in "compensation" out of web site owners who can’t afford to fight back or don’t even realize they can.

The province of British Columbia had to pass a special law to stop Richard Warman from suing libraries because they carried books he didn't approve of.

Richard Warman also wants to ban international websites he doesn’t like from being seen by Canadians.
