reminder: rent-seeking corporations can do things that are completely legal but still illiberal.

and i agree with them, no one should be compelled to publish something. but watching people who want government to run everything suddenly champion the rights of corporations is funny. does their love of economic choice extend to health care insurance, or only books?

And if your answer is the First Amendment, I'm going to have to ask you to explain why it's ok for the state to force everyone to pay for abortions, including nuns.

Or why you -- almost surely -- are ok with "hate speech" laws.

and if it wasn't clear, I think Hawley's contentions were ridiculous. They almost always are.

"... perhaps you look at us and see something that is not so..." Steve is Twitter's purple prose champ.

"We are all the types of guys who always tip at 50% or more." I can't stop laughing. People who need to say that, are definitely not that.

If only these folks actually cared about the First Amendment as much as they do mean tweets. All just posturing.

Obama spied on a Fox journalist — shopping his case to three separate judges, until he found one who let him name reporter James Rosen as a co-conspirator in a crime of reporting the news. He spied on many AP reporters. I wonder if this guy said a word?

100 percent this guy is fine with overturning Citizens United.

Troy is equal parts terrible and awesome. (I will watch any movie about ancients)

Bulwark/Lincoln Project convinced three percent more Republicans to vote for Trump.

As someone pointed out in my feed, LP is basically an organization that took money from Blue State liberals and sent it to Red State television stations (after taking a cut)

Should also be noted that 7 of 9 R senators outran (so far) Trump, so the down-ballot strategy was a complete failure.
