Last week I argued that a Liberal society is not necessarily bound to permit all forms of expression; certain things can be named anathema. Here's the kind of thing I mean.
Granted, they're just publicizing their existence. But can we name them unutterable? According to most constitutional scholars, no. Yet we would censor many things that they would say, and probably not permit them to buy ad space on television. Where precisely is the line drawn? Legal scholars?
BTW, why didn't the county just annoy them and rename the road "the Rosa Parks Memorial Highway," or some such?
