Well, 3 years later and maybe $100k-200k in lawyer fees and maybe you'll be made whole. If you don't see the issue there then I don't know what to tell you.

All other known solutions are worse.

Most countries do not have a court system as heavily skewed towards people with money as the US. You can have "less freedom on paper" and yet be more free in reality. If in doubt compare US courts to Scandinavian or EU courts. There are a lot of asterisks after US Freedom of speech and a lot of Dollar signs.

It seems like you are suggesting the government can restrain speech and then, if the people disagree that the government, that they then can sue the government to allow it.

I don't want to live in the world you suggest.

This right here is why I am glad we have a constitution in the US and resist efforts to make it easier to change.

The world I suggest already exists. Some things are illegal to say.

But if we don't trust the government, we can't trust the courts.

Don't worry. You can escalate it to the Supreme Court.
