Free speech is not a black and white issue, there are forms of expression that are limited in the US and I think as a society we agree with those limits. Calling for the assassination of a public figure or hiring a hit man are both obviously bad speech and should not be free.



Hiring a hit man is not speech.

And yes, there are forms of speech not protected from abridgement by Congress.

I think you and I both know that talking about side effects of medical procedures is not even close to being one of them.
