Actually she was convicted of disrupting a Senate Hearing. Basically contempt of court which is not protected speech. A jury of her peers found her guilty.
Is it shitty that she was brought up on these charges to begin with? Yes, but we have a process and I’m not willing to decry the death of freedom of speech until it has run its course.
A man was just banned for life from Fenway Park for using a racial slur. Freedom of Speech is not a racist dog whistle.
