"Attorney and PJI president Brad Dacus says the First Amendment prohibits employers from discriminating against a worker based on his or her personal, political, or religious viewpoints"

THe First Amendment says nada about "personal and politcal" viewpoints in the workplace. Did this guy get his law degree by mail order?

The "free speech" garanteed in the 1st amendment applies to the government, not private businesses.

No, he didn't. Like most attorneys he understands that the First Amendment means what judicial interpretations say it means and this emcompasses much more than the words on the page.
