ANOTHER First Amendment case!

Seems GOP lawmakers in some states are testing it to the limit.

Should they?

Now the courts need to apply this standard to the 2nd amendment.

Should they?

A cautious “yes”.

The article doesn’t talk about the law at all, just the preening of the plaintiffs.

Sounds like the law is to keep minors as minors under their parents jurisdiction. Not sure why this is a bad thing?

It’s depraved to let kids decide and tell the parents to stick it if they don’t like it. Yet parents will still be held fully responsible for what their kids do. Why not just let the kids decide to stay out all night?

If a parent can’t tell the kids no on something so destructive, what authority does a parent have left?

From some quick research it appears the law was blocked on technical issues, not as a 1st amendment issue. basically the law has exemptions that effectively nullify the laws actual intent.

This would be a problem as the law would not be enforced equally but instead capriciously.

Good law must have the capacity to be enforced fairly, consistently across all intended applications.

It reads more like a technical decision

Parents need to stop giving their kids “smart phones” at the age of 8.

These devices are not an acceptable babysitter!

Spend less money and spend more time with your kids!

There’s always the option of not paying for the kids internet access. No smartphone, no computer. That’ll slow things down for a while.

This is really about the state owning your children. And keeping you on the hook to pick up your child’s broken pieces.

The evil people want unfettered access to children’s minds. A kid can’t go get his own phone number or address, why is a “social media” account so important? They must expose kids to evil as soon as possible. There is no way there is any other explanation for this decision.
