1/ Hello @TheBuffaloNews, might I suggest speaking with someone who knows even just the basics of constitutional law before publishing an editorial like this to make sure that you don't beclown yourselves? This is embarrassing.

2/ You couldn't even finish the first *sentence* without saying something bafflingly ridiculous.

Whether or not the government's compelling interests could be done in a more measured (i.e., less restrictive) way IS (part of) the constitutional analysis in First Amendment claims.
3/ If the govt addresses its interest it in a way that isn't the least restrictive, it violates the First Amendment. This is basic, 1L (or before) stuff. Questioning whether the decision was based on the least restrictive means test or the First Amendment is utter nonsense.

1/ Really Bad Policy Drafting: A Thread (Or "Why You Should Probably Have Someone Versed in the Subject Matter Write The Policy")

This proposed "Employee Freedom of Speech" policy from @ClarkCountySch has some really glaring First Amendment problems.

ccsd.net/district/polic…
2/ It starts off innocently enough, correctly noting that the First Amendment protects a variety of expressive means and that public employees do not forfeit their First Amendment right to speak as private citizens on matters of public concern.
3/ And whatever its problems (and lordy are there problems), Garcetti v. Ceballos is law and public employee speech made "pursuant to official duties" isn't constitutionally protected

Speech made as a private citizen on a matter of public concern, however, is generally protected

Again, it's really amazing how constitutionally illiterate our elected officials are.

This is the rough equivalent of getting mad about @senatorshoshana tweeting about raising your taxes.
Just make sure Rashida Tlaib doesn't unreasonably search or seize me!
Just make sure the special counsel to the president doesn't personally enslave me and quarter troops in my home!

Guy who says he's into "nationalist politics" reminisces wistfully about the time racist white guy @ColbyCovMMA beat up on @TWooodley, noting that Woodley said "Black Lives Matter."

Keep telling me about how being "nationalist" doesn't mean you're racist, though.
"I'm not anti-Semitic, I just REALLY want National Socialism for German Workers!"

If the founder of @ZachorLegal has a law degree, it is clearly of dubious quality.

Then, this is the organization that thinks it's going to use RICO to defeat BDS and Anti-Semitism generally, so I'm not sure what I expected.
Maybe next Greendorfer can use RICO to prosecute the asshole that ate the last of my Trader Joe's Coffee Blast ice cream

The introduction to these Zoom CLE panelists that includes a judge talking about "whether the First Amendment should protect hate speech" has me expecting the worst and looking for the liquor.
Lord help me this slide is from an appellate court judge.
And he just said that "you can either protect people or protect speech. It is one or the other."
