Greg, you really have done the world a huge favor with this clear and succinct article explaining the constitutional right to free speech. I think we should frame it!! The language manipulation that is going on these days by the woke, e.g. the concept of “hate speech” and the terrible fear of “misinformation” and “disinformation” is a nothing less than a calculated and subtle way to do end run around the First Amendment. The protections of the bill of rights is ESSENTIAL to a free, democratic, and evolving society. Evading them is pushing (consciously or unconsciously) toward a different kind of society. We need to keep calling out this manipulation and fuzzy thinking regarding the constitution, as you have so brilliantly done in this article.

Consider a debate on free speech where the winner actually gets power over the other … at the end of the debate, you want the winner to be the one who allows further debate.
