First amendment speech. >> but legally, what can we really do? >> prosecutors are obligated to bring difficult cases. test cases. i think we have to not be afraid of the first amendment protections which we all love and embrace. we have to bring test cases like if somebodys riding around in a van with a rifle target over the face of a presidential candidate or a former president, i maintain as a prosecutor that could be charged as communicate ago threat. i would bring that case if i were still a...
