1/ These absolute clowns really submitted a brief saying that profanity by minors isn't protected by the First Amendment because of the fighting words doctrine and rules about what broadcasters can air.
Absolute garbage that is not only bad lawyering, but anti-free speech.

2/ First of all, Chaplinski is barely even good law. But more to the point, arguing "some things aren't protected" is not a valid argument. See Trope #3: popehat.com/2015/05/19/how… 
3/ And citing to FCC rules is just pure nonsense. As I've explained dozens (hundreds?) of times, broadcasters licensed to utilize public airwaves are subject to increased regulation on their expression.
Those regulations are not applicable to LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE.

4/ This is a garbage brief that is (poorly) arguing for *narrowing* the First Amendment.
Unmitigated clownery.

Parents: I humbly suggest you give your kids a one-time offer to post something on social media telling @JordanSekulow to go fuck himself.
Consider it a civics lesson that will imbue them with greater First Amendment competency than Sekulow.
