Citation?

U.S. Const. amend. I.[/quote]

:lol:

Hint: Actual FCC rulings would be a start…but since it appears you pulled that out of your sphincter so we won’t wait on you.

find a single case of the FCC fining a speaker for political comments at a government meeting. You know, the kind of political speech that is the most protected. I'll wait [/quote]

Oh. Were they “political” comments now? 
 
VA station fined for obscene content:
https://variety.com/2015/biz/news/fcc-slaps-virginia-tv-station-with-325000-indecency-fine-1201458034/

The FCC plans to issue what it says will be the highest fine ever against a TV station for a single incident of airing indecent content, slapping a $325,000 penalty against a Roanoke, Va., TV station for airing a sexually explicit video clip of an adult film website during a news broadcast.[/quote]

This has no relevance to speech at a public forum, irrespective of whether it is political speech or not.  (Note, however, that almost anything said by a member of the public at a school board meeting would count as political speech under 1st Amendment precedent.)[/quote]

The issue isn’t he speech in the public forum. It was when that speech was broadcast.  This is why so many live event are on delay. I would imagine going forward SB meeting won’t be broadcast lie or I’ll be on a delay. Since Republicans can’t control themselves. I guess next up is standing on tables no screaming, like in Loudoun? [/quote]

if you're trying to fine the speaker, the issue is that it is a government forum set up so that members of the public can address their elected officials. This is the core of political speech protected by the first amendment. There is zero chance that you can come up with an instance of a speaker being fined under these circumstances [/quote]

Again.  The issue isn’t addressing the SB. The issue is broadcasting it.  I’m fine with letting the FCC weigh in. I’m sure she got legal advice before pulling this stunt. And they said: here’s a loophole that lets you expose young kids to obscene material.[/quote]

if the govenerment sets up the broadcast, then she has no part in it. She does have a right to address her elected officials that is protected by the constitution, they can't then broadcast the meeting and hold her responsible for the broadcast  [/quote]

Did she know it was being broadcast? If so, see the Janet Jackson Super Bowl halftime fine.

And no, obscene material isn’t protected speed.

And I’m struggling to understand why the GOP is so intent on defending the broadcast of obscene speech to young children. Let me guess, her free-dumb to do whatever she wants outweigh[b]s parents rights to protect our kids from porn[/b]?

I am so over your freedumb to broadcast porn to my kids, distribute semiautomatic weapons with no license, so schools can be shot up.  Teach young kids unvaxxed and maskless.

Your freedumb hurts so may kids so much. [/quote]

so it's porn? Isn't distributing porn to a minor a felony? When does the librarian get locked up? [/quote]

Cite the statue you believe applies to the librarian in her official capacity as an FCPS employee. That gets around qualified immunity. We’ll wait [/quote]

qualified immunity is civil not criminal. [/quote]
