When does the First Amendment stop protecting our right to free speech?
Well, heck! Whenever there’s an “emergency”–right?
And that would be whenever the government decides there’s an emergency.
T’other day Supreme Court “Justice” Kitanji Whatsit complained that that pesky First Amendment “hamstrings” the government. Guess what, sunshine: That’s what it’s for! To limit the power of government. That’s what the whole Constitution itself is for!
Someone sign her up for a high school physics class. If we can find one.
Yes, I read it on NWV, and it is amazing how little regard current “office holders” and their supporters have for the very document which gives them, as well as everyone else have these days. They all need a good spanking.
A public ducking might do it.
Perhaps, not such a bad idea.
I like your phrase ” Ice greased with lard.” John Adams tried to stop free speech and as a result lost in his bid for a second term to Tom Jefferson. Woodrow Willson used WWI as his excuse for denying free speech about the war and he ended up having a debilitating stroke (and didn’t even let the public know about for months so his wife could rule in his stead). Maybe Justice Jackson will have a stoke or something similar from her advocating for the abridgement of free speech. My wife is always wondering why God does not strike these anti-American people dead with a bolt of lightning.
