I would also be cool with adding on a hate crimes clause, though I cannot speak for my colleagues.

Aye.

I would have voted Aye, but I do have a few additions to make to this. (Changes to already bold parts are in italics).

Your edits look fine to me; I do have an issue with this though:

I would prefer to protect the WBC's right to free speech, even though they are despicable.

[Sol]

Aye!

Though we most certainly should eliminate that section.

I seriously believe the love of Americans for free speech is disgusting.
No one should be able to disturb a private funeral.

If I recall correctly, Sol, you're gay, aren't you?
You would like the Westboro Church to be able to disturb your own funeral? Seriously?

I wouldn't like them to, and I am a big fan of their various counter-protesters, but I believe that we shouldn't regulate speech based on how morally depraved it is. Once we start regulating unpopular speech, it opens up a slippery slope to regulating other forms.

You know, in France, you have stricter law regarding freedom of speech, and that doesn't mean we're a fascist country,...

Of course. But freedom of speech is still very important- I hold few values higher.

Yeah, a vote sounds good to me.

[Sol]

Aye!

[Sol]

Aye for me as well.
