> stop mixing together actions meaning done (or doable) deeds, and statements such as speech

This is a completely arbitrary distinction.

In fact there are many crimes for which speech is enough to get jailed, like if you give instruction for a murder, “all” you did was speech. Racketing? Speech. Scam? Speech. Fiscal fraud? You just lied (=speech) to the IRS. Death threats? Speech. Harassment? Speech. Violation of Secret Defense? Speech.

Should all of the above be legal because speech is supposed to be special?
