Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/06/19/supreme-court-unanimously-reaffirms-there-is-no-hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201... >[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment.
