INSTANCE #4: Colorado Law Criminalizes the Bible

SB200, a Colorado state bill recently signed into law, criminalizes the Bible. Section 8 of the bill entitled "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden" makes publishing the Bible illegal because it contains anti-homosexual passages. This is part of a larger effort to criminalize the expression of certain opinions and beliefs.

That's not gonna fly with the First Amendment. And if that doesn't work ... there's always the one after it.

Hate speech laws are unconstitutional. "The New Deal" is unconstitutional. The "War on Poverty" is/was unconstitutional. The list goes on and on. The point is, that isn't going to stop anyone.
