Speaking of law , I don't see how anything may be done to hold Kathy Griffin liable , given Brandenburg v . Ohio . Since it doesn't appear that she made any explicit direct threat of imminent violence , I would expect that such a display will be protected under the First Amendment .

Yes, some might say it's a matter of artistic taste? Not in this case...it's a matter of law and the Secret Service will by law investigate Kathy Griffin.
