- skulk 4y agoHow about we start with not allowing states to blatantly ignore the First Amendment?
- dane-pgp 4y agoWhat if I told you that SCOTUS has previously acknowledged that corporate (negative) speech deserves less protection than citizen (positive) political speech? This is why state governments can require that companies put warning labels or nutritional information on their products, which would otherwise be considered compelled speech.
- quantified 4y agoBy negative do you mean the freedom to not say things? Aren’t tax returns and 10-Qs compelled speech too?
- nulbyte 4y agoA manufacturer can choose what types of products it won't manufacture. Why can't a publisher choose the types of work it won't publish?
- dane-pgp 4y agoBecause the publisher is choosing to publish based on the identity or opinions of the customer. To give another controversial example, there's a difference between a manufacturer choosing not to produce customized cakes, and a manufacturer choosing not to produce cakes customized for interracial couples.
