How would you propose to regulate this speech?
By mocking foolish, half baked ideas mercilessly. What else can I do? There is nothing that prevents ones own fingers from posting drivel upon a public forum (except a sledgehammer to them).
It looks to me, then, that you're actually in favor of letting the public discuss this.

Some robust court system.
Yes, because that equates to a GULag system, amirite? You cite two examples to derogate a system of about 3150 county court systems, 50 state systems with multiple courts in them, about 100 federal district courts, an appellate system, and the Supreme Court. Surely if the court system was unreliable in enforcing our rights -- many of which convicted felons often lose as a result of their crimes -- if the system was that unreliable, you'd have a larger sample, or a more substantive reply than "Yeah, but what about this?", which is what posting your two links amounts to.
Maybe you think prison ought to be a vacation home, I don't know. You've yet to put forth any positive ideas, instead enjoy sniping in this thread. Perhaps you have something to actually add to the conversation.
How would you go about replacing the death penalty? Be specific.
