Montana Supreme Court: Cursing in public not protected free speech

The 5-2 ruling Thursday said such unprovoked utterances are not protected by the constitutional right to free speech. Any obscene language likely to provoke violence can bring an arrest for disorderly conduct, the court held.

In October 2000, Malachi Robinson swore loudly at Missoula County Deputy David McGinnis, who was parked in his squad car, calling him a "(expletive) pig," according to court documents.

What a bunch of fucking pigs on the Montana Supreme Court. I guess the U.S. Constitution doesn't mean anything to them. What part of this don't they understand:

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 hope this case is appealed and overturned.
