3 Where have the Democrat Socialists ever worried about something 'Specifically forbidden by the Constitution'?

They have their judges ready to quash any such concerns.

10 It will be struck down in court, the left will hyperventilate and claim Nick is threatening the lives of the downtrodden and then start saying he is violent or encouraging it, just like Charlie Kirk.

And then their followers will kill him. Just like Charlie Kirk.

This will keep happening until we start putting these people in prison and/or killing them. There is no middle ground.
