I was listening to the Glenn Beck program yesterday. Not something I 
normally do but I was in my car when his program was airing. Apparently 
there is a proposal before the Colorado legislature that would allow the 
governor to appoint a five person commission that would decide what is 
allowable electronic communications. They could decide what is fake news 
and what is hate speech and issue fines for those who run afoul of what is 
allowable. AOC has proposed similar measures for the entire country. Just 
ten years ago such proposals would have been considered too outrageous an 
infringement on free speech but now we have people in power who are 
seriously proposing these draconian measures. This makes Trump's victory 
in 2016 all the more important. With the current make up of the court, I 
have no doubt any such laws would be quickly struck down. I'm not as 
confident that would happen if Hillary had appointed the last three 
justices. This is also the reason court packing cannot be allowed. 
Liberals want to be able to strike down the fundamental liberties which 
the Bill of Rights protects. They know they could never accomplish that 
through amendments but they think if they can tilt the court to the left, 
they could achieve their goals through simple legislation.
