The op-ed also laments that the First Amendment protects “good guys” and “bad actors” alike. But that’s a feature, not a bug. I don’t want the government deciding what speech is “good” versus “bad.” — PolitiTweet.org

This op-ed gets the First Amendment backwards. It would give the government and politicians license to shut down ideas and silence groups they don’t like. Indeed, speech seeking political, social, or economic change is often labeled as “hateful” by those in power. — PolitiTweet.org

The op-ed claims that the First Amendment protects only a narrow and limited set of values, and thus we should tolerate new intrusions on free speech. Not so. As SCOTUS has said, the First Amendment expresses a commitment to “uninhibited, robust, and wide-open” debate. — PolitiTweet.org
