    The First Amendment protects the right of free speech even if it goes against government powers, Disney said in court documents asking a judge to reject DeSantis’ motion to dismiss the entertainment giant’s First Amendment lawsuit in Tallahassee.

    Is…is this not settled? I thought we were all clear on this one tiny thing.

        Nobody who is actually a libertarian is confused. The “I’m ashamed to identify as a Republican” crowd is confused.

          It’s interesting. Just like USA “left wing” isn’t really left on the global stage, we also don’t have the same idea of what “libertarian” means (meant, maybe) globally, either. I’m pretty sure all our ivory towers, from wretchedly impoverished to the billionaires are about to come crashing down, starting with the poorest poor, of course. But like another user elsewhere said, it’s definitely a domino effect.
