Well, I suppose there is. But let's not forget that in certain states in America a judge can command people to put a person to death - as long as he does it in accordance with the law. I suppose if you follow procedure - you can try and convince other people of whatever you like. Unfortunately, it's a side-effect of democracy and freedom of speech.
I'm not having a go at USA- even though I'm against death penalty on principle. I think nuts like this lawyer scumbag (I know, I know - redundant), or Westboro Baptists should be allowed to express their opinions - as long as they obey the law and conform to the results of the democratic process.
Sure - it's ugly, but at least we know about them and they do and/or will suffer consequences, if not legal - than social and political. In fact - I'd say they really work against their own causes, by inadvertently ridiculing and/or demonizing them in the eyes of the public. It's the silent nuts we need to worry about.
