The ACLU would eat that sheriff alive. Its funny how you all seem to like the idea of restricting speech.
Actually, the Supreme Court has blessed several restrictions on free speech already. One of which is speech that is considered obscene. That's why child porn is illegal rather than free speech.

How can child porn be equated with free speech?
In one a human being clearly being exploited and endangered. In the other, someone is expressing ideas without hurting anyone.

All porn is an expression of speech and you don't have to exploit or endanger anybody to create porn.
The First Amendment doesn't only protect speech that "is expressing ideas without hurting anyone". It protects all speech except what the Supreme court has exempted. Read it.

Child porn, which is the example you used, absolutely DOES exploit and endanger people.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I don't see anything about bumper stickers or obscene language. Do you?
So are you saying we cannot have "common sense free speech control"?
