Scalia believed so strongly in the 1st amendment that he even voted in favor of flag burning which he abhorred. I couldn’t only imagine how sad he would be seeing the current wave of government censorship, hysterics, and lockdowns. (media.patriots.win)

I mean, "shall not be infringed" means what it says. As a free speech absolutist, I go even further than Scalia. No federal restrictions on speech whatsoever.

If States want to impose consequences for things like blackmail or defamation or fighting words, so be it. That's federalism, and I also don't believe in 14th Amendment incorporation against the states.
