Freedom my ass. When one Party wants to arrest women over abortions, doesn't want to prohibit police from acquiring menstrual cycle info of 'suspects', then that Party and its supporters have no moral high ground from which to lecture anyone else about freedom.
What I see, here especially, is people mistaking the Government proscription against infringing on free speech as also a proscription against private companies restricting what employees can say and do, codes of conduct. Ditto for private schools, clubs of all kinds and social media. I don't see libs making that mistake.
As for the 2nd Amendment, I'm with Scalia and I guaranf'ingtee you didn't know about this:
But Scalia also wrote something else in the Heller decision that the NRA didn’t applaud: “Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
Scalia would also assert the belief that “like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited” and that it is “not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
Riddle me this, constitutional scholar. When did conservatives drop 'no rights without responsibilities'?
Freedom doesn't include a right to sedition, engaging in OR inciting others to engage in either. You righties are getting a slow painful education in that fact.
As are the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and free range treason weasels.
