>>”They represent the state. Their speech cannot be silenced, except when on the job.” —RobRoy<<

Yes, but that does not have anything to do with what you posted. As I said in the same post, my company can control what I say on the job. Freedom of speech only counts when you are on your own time. The government cannot control other companies or individuals, but they certainly can control their own employees. And especially if something they say or do causes the governent, with the employee being their agent, violating the constitution.

What ticks me off is that to get some licenses your speech is severely limited, and I think unconstitutionally.

You cannot say, in a real estate ad, “close to a church”. I do not think that would pass the SCOTUS.
