They the American Civil Liberties Union, not the American Free Speech Absolutists. In the above case, the TRO is due to an org suing for identifying information regarding gender identity in jails. Given their track record, it's likely that they're suing so that individuals are not getting identified without their consent.
- barney54 5y agoThe first amendment is pretty absolute: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
- anigbrowl 5y agoThe first amendment is a restraint on government, not everyone else. Many 'free speech absolutists' seem to argue for a more expansive scope.
