OK, overturned ruling.

Still not enough; even in your post the cite said that there could be restrictions on free speech... when it is plain to anyone who cares to read that the first amendment is unqualified and absolute in its prohibitions placed upon Congress. (i.e. there's no "unless it would incite people to violence/rebellion" clause.)

Yes, the 1st Amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." It does not say anything about states making criminal or civil statutes regarding criminal behavior.

Which I acknowledged and even pointed out.

I see no mention in your post about state’s rights.

Ah, you’re right; my apologies... I was thinking of another thread where the case came up.

Where is Bloomberg?

he has gone off radar.

How much did it cost the executive branch to fly those useful idiot lobbiests from CT? Why the af one optic?

AF1 is the medium and the visual is the message.

Our medium has to be mother protecting child.

Bloomberg may have taken a break from babbling his propaganda but I’ll bet he’s still shelling out cash for the cause.
