For people outside the US, keep in mind the author has a very far left interpretation of the First Amendment. This is obvious with a quick google search of the authors name and the periodicals she writes in and the topics she covers. There is another side to this, her opinion about the amendment is far from absolute.
I don’t want to give her too much publicity but in one opinion piece for example she pretentiously lectures a black Supreme Court justice on what diversity is. That’s all I need to know about her.
- jdkee 3y agoHow is her view "far left"? What she wrote fully comports with most constitutional scholars understanding of the First Amendment.
- Vaslo 3y agoDon't get me wrong, I agree with a good bit of what she says, but she lost me a bit with whole sections on "Only for the government" and "Don't conflate legal with morally correct". There's no consensus that people should lose their job because they say something questionable, except by liberal lawyers who would fight for your right to burn a flag or disparage someone on their right, but will suddenly clam up when one of their political opponents does something they find "morally reprehensible". Who decides what's "moral"? The extremes are easy to see - but what about someone who doesn't want to go along with someone's pronouns? Should they be fined? Should they lose their jobs?
