Free speech in danger. US government is currently "considering" a potential law (bill) that makes holocaust denial illegal.
Now I don't even deny the holocaust personally, I don't know whether or not it happened, I wasn't alive back then. I'm holocaust agnostic.
But the point is free speech is legal in America. America is supposed to be the country where you can express your beliefs and opinions freely. Many european countries have already banned this, but America was cool because it was different.
This new bill is in violation of the first amendment, which is a law for laws. The amendments are laws that govern other laws. They have more power than normal laws because they are harder to pass than normal laws, it's very difficult to create a new amendment and that's why they are more powerful than other laws. It's a law for the law to obey. The laws cannot contradict with the amendments, and if they do, the amendments WIN priority.
I fear that in the near future it will (still) be legal to burn the American flag, but it will be illegal to burn the Israeli flag. And I fear that it will be legal to be racist towards whites, but no other race...
