/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

As @MinorLeakage mentioned, it's not okay. And Trump couldn't pardon for that, either. It'd have to be appealed through the court system, despite being clearly unconstitutional.

No it isn't okay, but it's also not related to any pardons from the President. You're conflating two unrelated things. The Constitution is the document that both doesn't allow your State to pass those laws, and wouldn't allow the President to pardon you if they did. What mechanism is there for forcing a State to actually NOT violate the Constitution? Well, that's a different question.

That would be what's called a "Time, place and manner" restriction that has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Legally, the precedent has been set that despite the first amendment, although the government cannot stop you from swearing altogether, they can restrict you from saying certain things at certain times or places, as long as the restrictions are reasonably balanced against your free-speech rights.
