>>Please, fill me in on your observations.<<

The US Constitution is a contract between the people of the USA and its government. The only entities it recognizes are the Federal Government, the States and the People.

When you contract with an employer, you give up a slew of rights. If the employer says you can’t talk politics, you can’t talk politics. As long as you are free to leave the employer, you can reassert your rights.

If I had someone who worked for me calling for jihad and telling my customers the same, I had damn well better be able to fire him.

>>BTW Are you a Constitutional Scholar?<<

I like to think so. I have spent thousands of hours studying the USC and associated interpretations, writings and papers.

“The US Constitution is a contract between the people of the USA and its government.”

Um, no. The contract is between the sovereign states and the federal government. That people were given rights was just a happy by-product.
