CNN is essentially renting its broadcast privileges from the citizens of America. They can't broadcast whatever they want, and just about every network has cashiered people like this idiot merely for uttering one politically incorrect sentence. That it hasn't happened in this case is the product of open media bias and the fact that they don't care what millions of Americans think if those Americans aren't leftists --or at least, if those Americans are not in support of this particular fundamental element of the collectivist agenda. Again, if this Marxist agitator is not a citizen, he's here by permission, and CNN has no right to employ a foreigner in the US --they have to get permission to do so. Would we tolerate a radical Muslim with a national platform on CNN advocating Sharia Law? I doubt CNN would even try to get away with it. Advocating the violation of the US Constitution as a Marxist hypocrite is no different.
I believe CNN is cable only, no airwaves are harmed in the spewing of its daily bile, no licenses required.
They do from time to time have Muslims discussing Sharia law, but don't advocate it openly 24/7.
CNN has every right to employ this fellow, assuming he is here lawfully. There is no requirement in immigration situations that someone be a right thinking, true-blue American in thought, word and deed. They can keep you out of you have a criminal background, I think, or a loathsome disease perhaps. Even if they couldn't have him here in the States, it is child's play to broadcast from anywhere in the world these days.
Unfortunately, "advocating the violation" of the US Constitution is a matter of interpretation, and frequent dispute. Not everyone who disagrees with you is guilty. Even Supreme Court Justices differ on questions of interpretation, often 5-4. Constitutional interpretation is not a clear cut as you make out, and never has been in the ~220 years since it was adopted.
