FL Lawmakers Seek Curbs on Controversial Speech
No, they don't get it
Free speech is a great idea, but it doesn't extend to military funeral protesters and political smear campaigns.

Florida's legislative session doesn't officially begin for another three months, but that hasn't stopped lawmakers from imposing new rules.
