Attacks on free speech are nothing new:
" 'For if men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments ... reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the slaughter.' George Washington"
"The principal function of free speech under the United States’ system of government is to invite dispute; it may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger"
How does that sit with the concept of "hate speech" then?
" 'Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the free acts of speech' Benjamin Franklin"
The Biden administration has been found wanting in Federal Court in no uncertain terms.
This (albeit temporary) injunction has been a long time coming. Dare they appeal?
