Sorry it should be "If we don't support their right to free speech, how could anyone have free speech?" That was my point of the Sharpton/KKK tie. Sharpton knew that if the KKK's rights were trimmed in some fashion, his could also be.
As far as lawmakers being the arbiter, I dont' think that very efficient since they seem to rather blanket the whole instead of the single instance, as exampled by the TSA and other "security" measures.
