News flash Mr Birch, and Eastman there are limits on free speech already, this has been ruled on over and over. When you draw a check from the state of Alaska and ALL of its citizens and are the floor of our Capitol then you are not entitled to spout off what eve comes to mind. Save it for when you get back to the land of white bigots where you come from then you can say what ever you like. Mr Eastman did not give an apology, an apology is sincere and states you have come to see you made and error, it is accepting the consequences of ones actions and words. His comments are more aligned "well if some of those people are offended  I guess I am sorry".
