Free speech is not negotiable. Either ALL have it or NONE have it. The Constitution does not have a ‘except for’ clause in the 1st Amendment....................

Nothing is prohibiting their freedom of speech, because nothing is preventing them from giving up their tax-exempt status. If they want to keep their special rights, they just have to abide by the same regulations as every other tax-exempt organization.

That is true, but even the act of having a ‘tax exempt status’ that can be withheld as a form of ‘punishment’ to said organization, is in effect a ‘punishment’ for free speech..................
