So sick of all these Republicans crying about unfairness and double standards. Do something about it you pussies.

Love Scalia but he would have cucked like the rest of them during this election

Thanks for wasting my time, moron.

Dude, what do you think reading to children is? Its fucking speech. If you tell drag queens they can't read to children, you are restricting their freedom of speech. Its that simple. Now, there are a couple of moves you could make. You could argue that an originalist interpretation of the 1A does not protect drag queen story hour. You could try to make a common-good constitutionalist argument, which is gaining a little bit of traction. You could find some cases that are somewhat on point and try to distinguish them. You could even argue that yes it would infringe on 1A rights but is nevertheless permissible under strict scrutiny. I think these are all losing arguments, but they are at least plausible arguments. What you can't do is simply say that it's not a 1A issue. You will get laughed out of court. It kind of matters what courts think even if you think their jurisprudence on the issue is garbage.

I think your negative reaction to my comment really shows the weakness and inconsistency of social conservatives trying to uphold classical liberal values. I can at least in theory say fuck drag queen story hour, and fuck the 1A. You want to say fuck drag queen story hour but want to uphold the 1A on the other end. Its a losing game.

I know it doesn't. Feel free to show me a case or a legal brief that might convince a judge otherwise, but I don't think you can or will because you have no idea what you are talking about.

This distinction doesn't matter like you think it does. What matters is the language in the legislation. Just to keep it simple for example, if you were to pass a city ordinance that said something like "No public library shall be used for drag queens to read stories to children," it is still a free speech issue even though the legislation does not purport to prohibit drag queens reading stories while not in the presence of children. I promise you that you are dead wrong on this subject.

Modern politics is civil war carried out by other means. Of course the enemy is going to have different standards for themselves. The sooner the right accepts this and becomes willing to play the game the better. All this whining about fairness and double standards is just loser talk.

David French asked Amari what he would do to stop it. He said that he would pass city ordinances. French said they would get struck down under the First Amendment. He was right. I'm not sure what you know about 1A jurisprudence that French and I don't know.

I just took a class in law school last semester that focused on the rule of law. We spent a week talking about free speech and what was kind of interesting was that neither side really believes in it anymore. Examples of the left abandoning it are obvious, but then you also have people on the right like Sohrab Ahmari wanting to crack down on things like drag queen story hour and pornography. Free speech is a principle of liberalism, and liberalism failed. It's probably better to just accept that and move on than to be clutching our pearls talking about free speech.

Of course it's a civil suit. Every suit not brought by a state or federal prosecutor charging criminal penalties is a civil suit. I'm not sure what special relevance there words have for you.
