In Supreme Court Case, Schenk v. United States 29 U.S. 47 (1919), Justice Holmes declared, "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic".
Donald Trump is clearly causing a panic by claiming that our election process is rigged. Some of his most vocal followers are using the power of media and social media to start an uprising.
The peaceful transfer of power that has been a cherished, sacred practice in our democracy since the foundations of the U.S. must be protected. One man with the powerful weapon of television and publicity should be stopped by our congress since he is looking to make that transfer violent. Donald Trump must be stopped for causing a clear and present danger.
