OK, now define those things in an unambiguous way such that countries can come together in agreement over what constitutes expression, where the lines are with respect to slander/libel, what constitutes incitement, harassment... is money expression? Are lies in advertising protected?

These simple declarations of what people feel is true and right are ... I dunno, is the right expression "charmingly naive"?

Actually, it's not that hard to define these things pretty unambiguously. I hashed this out in a previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35508978
I think that thread actually nicely shows how hard and how contentious the issue is.
