CNN lawyer doesn't know the First Amendment due to TDS

Jennifer Rodgers, the Comedy News Network's so-called legal analyst, apparently understands the U.S. Constitution to the same degree a spitting cockroach understands Einstein's theory of relativity in its application to the existence of black holes.

Rodgers spoke during a discussion about this week's scheduled Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump and attempted to discredit Trump's lawyer's legal argument that impeaching someone who is no longer in office is "unconstitutional." The grounds, the Left is using stems from Trump's Jan. 6 remarks at a rally which preceded the Capitol riot, which his lawyer says is protected by his First Amendment right to free speech.

"Yeah, those are wrong," Rodgers pontificated about that argument. "I mean, you don't have a First Amendment right to lie. You don't have a First Amendment right to put people in danger. And he did both of those things."

Bong! Rodgers is wrong. 

While you don't have the right to call for violence and put people in danger, you sure as hell have the right to lie. CNN and the rest of us do it all the time. This isn't about truth in advertising, which is a totally different animal; it's about having the right to say what you want to say as long as it doesn't call for violence or put people in danger, such as yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater.

And Trump was crystal clear before the protest when he called for a "peaceful" and "patriotic" protest. Most people at the rally were, in fact, peaceful and were not calling for a coup [an overthrow of government] but were calling for the government to look into the election proceedings that seemed questionable. 

The idiots that were rioting were outliers and nobody on the right, outside of they themselves, support what they did, in spite of how the Left is trying to put all conservatives, libertarians and Trump supporters in the same category.

For now, all we can do is pray for Reps. Alexandria Obviously-Callow (D-Twitter) and Rashida "Aunty Semitic" Tlaib (D-MI) who, while they were nowhere near the action at the Capitol, nevertheless believe they deserve the role of victim in order to forward their agenda, an agenda they laughingly call democracy.
