So your dumb ass is OK with an American citizen being locked up abroad for speech?... In what people are claiming is a free democracy? LOL. You are too stupid to insult.
Of course I’m ok with it. That’s a country facing genocide and under martial law. People there have no right to free speech let alone speech that is detrimental to the war effort.

The same limits would apply here if we were under martial law and facing a conflict in the homeland.


Writing for a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes declared in Schenck v. United States (1919) that “[w]hen a nation is at war, many things that might be said in times of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.”



In other words, the Supreme Court declared that the government could restrict speech more in times of war than in times of peace.

Everyone should be considered as packing a weapon.
