If there are, they will be challenged in court as unconstitutional. Most non-citizens don't realize the difference in laws from State to State in the US but The Constitution supersedes local law.<BR/><BR/>So if California make a "hate speech" law; it would probably be struck down as unconstitutional under the First Amendment of our Constitution:<BR/><BR/><I>"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; <B>or abridging the freedom of speech,</B> or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."</I><BR/><BR/>From Amendment fourteen:<BR/><BR/><I>" No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; </I> [....]" <BR/><BR/>There are hate speech codes on some university campi which can result in the expulsion of students and censure of facility. <BR/><BR/>A person could be charged with incitement or harassment but this is rarely done and usually does not result in a conviction. In print, we may say anything we wish, subject only to libel laws, (which throw away the dictionary definition of libel), and is only prosecutable under the conditions that:<BR/><BR/>The Statement was false.<BR/>The person making the statement knew it was false.<BR/>Actual damages occurred as a result of the statement.<BR/><BR/>All three conditions must be met.<BR/><BR/>So we may yell and scream at each other to our little hearts content.<BR/><BR/>One caveat is, we may not break the law and use our constitutional rights as an excuse. The best example of that is the old trope, yelling fire in a crowded theater.<BR/><BR/>I hope this answered your question. :^)Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720528359843578475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1138850518950145172006-02-01T22:21:00.000-05:002006-02-01T22:21:00.000-05:00Every time someone says about banning "hate talk" ...Every time someone says about banning "hate talk" I cringe.<BR/>I'd rather have someone calling me names than being protected by the law.<BR/>As long as we have the right to talk back I don't want to have any state protection.<BR/>How does it work now in the States?<BR/>On one hand people can go into serious trouble for saying certain things about certain ethnic minorities but when I get into the Nation Of Islam there are no restricyions whatsoever.<BR/>And I don't mean "religion" bashing.<BR/>There is open racism oozing from every page.Dan Zarembahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067140150563192288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1138850224364692742006-02-01T22:17:00.000-05:002006-02-01T22:17:00.000-05:00I am sorry Rob Bayn is not here.
