The thinking that comes from this needs to be explored.
Can other Rights in the Bill of Rights be neutralized in this manner?

When Government is 40+% of GDP, politics effectively controls everything.

Director of the Ntl Institutes of Health Jay Bhattacharya speaking at the Ntl Conservatism Conference in DC, a former Stanford professor, warned that America’s constitutional protections for free expression dissolved during the Covid pandemic and remain unenforceable even today.
“The First Amendment still doesn’t apply in practice,” he said. “Free speech rights exist right now only because the administration has chosen to allow them, not because the First Amendment is protecting us.”
This is why we have the 2nd amendment. He needs to be fired.
The left did a full court press on freedom of speech and used it to steal an election they saw as a must win at any cost. Now it’s time to make them pay that cost... Dearly.
However, any person is free to start his own web site and say whatever he wants. You don’t need Twitter and you don’t need Facebook.
By using the term free expression he is grouping legal and illegal actions into one pot trying to claim they are equal in importance and expectation whether they are legal or not. The failure of the freedoms is not by their intent, but by the intent assigned to them by the courts.
I should be able to say anything I like and still can if you know how to say it. So it isn’t a matter of content, but application.

So, he's saying that we don't need amendments anymore, and that all it takes to repeal parts of the Constitution is for someone to violate it and that makes it “dead letter” from that point forward?

That system was effectively destroyed by the 17th Amendment, pushing a Republic into a democracy subject to communications media.
In that respect, Trump is setting a very dangerous precedent if he moves the Guard against the orders of a State Governor. Yes, in many respects things are that dire on the streets of our cities. Soros' support for woke DAs is what tipped those scales (for which and more he deserves to hang). One can only hope the people can reverse field at the ballot box sufficiently to overcome institutional fraud before it becomes necessary to deploy force. In places like Portland or LA, I just don't see that. There is a value to allowing leftism to sink a jurisdiction on a limited basis, effectively allowing Natural Law to be the enforcer.

Clearly our rights under the First Amendment were usurped duringCOVID especially by power mad state Governors. In Minnesota not only businesses and schools were shut down, but so were churches. Catholic and Lutheran leaders were incensed and threatened legal action against Tampon Tim Walz until he relented. Walz’s COVID storm troopers even wanted to ban singing in church once they were opened. How quickly our compliance to the lie of “two weeks to flatten the curve” became a dictatorial power grab leaving many of us living in a totalitarian state
Unheard has an interesting history.
None of which I was able to learn for its website.
Nuff said to my mind.
