Bill of Privileges?

To putatively counter cyberbullying, four Democrat New York state senators -- Jeff Klein, Diane Savino, David Carlucci and David Valesky -- have proposed that freedom of speech be redefined.
Proponents of a more refined First Amendment argue that this freedom should be treated not as a right but as a privilege — a special entitlement granted by the state on a conditional basis that can be revoked if it is ever abused or maltreated.
Therefore, it appears that the Bill of Rights to the Constitution will have to be retitled as the Bill of Privileges.

My question? What in the hell are these people thinking?
