Numerous First Amendment liberties were prominently exercised.

Ms. Sarandon articulated her First Amendment rights.

Likewise, Ms. Sarandon’s agent asserted their First Amendment rights.

Analogous to the public’s First Amendment right to boycott a particular beer brand, and akin to a corporation’s prerogative to abstain from advertising on a social media platform.

Well said
An eloquent restatement of “with rights…comes equally as large responsibilities” in order to be truly free. Our civilization and country is built on the principle that righteous men and women limit themselves without enforcement of government or kings.

What has been lost is the thought of unfettered rights with no responsibility. Once this step is taken … I have the right to speak what I want but can force you to accept it without the natural consequence of someone else exercising his same right to disagree and remove a relationship, then there is tyranny based on whom controls the levers of power

One of my favorite quotes “though I loathe what you say, I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”.
