People in power are applauded, even idolized, when they do great things for the country .. and they get statues erected and people kissing their hand.
But, when they behave in obvious Benedict Arnold fashion, selling America and its
citizens down the river in blatant pandering for votes and power, well .. then they get what they should understandably expect.
The freedom of speech issue is a diversion from the greater situation at hand.
What's of paramount, foundational import is the actual
behavior of the politicians American citizens entrusted at the voting booth.
Politicians cannot
realistically expect that they can do whatever American-citizen damage they wish and then run and hide behind the skirt of mommy law, as there are a ton of "independents", "anarchists", and other "crazies" who, at some point of feeling utterly betrayed and sold out, actually do
indeed lose respect for the very law those Benedict Arnoldian politicians were
supposed to be protecting.
So although it is wrong to cry "Fire!" in a crowded theatre when there is no fire, or threaten anyone's life for real, "wrong", in this case, is a
rational observation, and by the time the perpetrator has been so egregiously and intollerably wronged, considering the damage inflicted and the
emotional reaction that has most understandably set in, it's really very foolish to expect
rational behavior from such an individual.
For now, however, we have stories we can tell that, though not illegal, still get the message across .. such as this:

Again, a word to the wise D.C. politican.
