Typical Leftist tactics. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were all for civil liberties and opposed to anti-Communist blacklists and to restrictions on pornography. Now that their power has increased, their goal is to curb the speech of their enemies. The Bolsheviks did the same flip in Russia after Lenin became the dictator.

Bingo! They are in a footrace with Islamists.

The ultimate court ruling will be something very close to:
"The 1st does not extend beyond the confines of one's residence. The state may impose penalties for inappropriate public statements"

“The Bolsheviks did the same flip in Russia after Lenin became the dictator.”

That bears repeating.
