My right to harm you in light of that belief is not. The "hate speech" laws we deal with are already infringing pretty far into the "freedom of expression" arena, but it could be argued that such speech is powerful enough to incite *actual* harm.

So we agree that rights are limited, there's a good start! To me religious rights have to be at the absolute bottom of the hierarchy. Why? Because no other rights should be violated just because "God says it's okay". Other rights are based on logic.
But to deny that rights need to be limited is what is truly assinine. And frankly, quite shocking for someone who aspires or has aspired to public office.
