So, the First Amendment of the once-freest nation in the world is comatose. This time its enemies are not hooded Klansmen seeking to intimidate African Americans or right-wing conspiracy theorists rooting out supposed communists.
No, the culprits are progressives and leftist elites in publishing, the media, Silicon Valley, academia, entertainment, and government. They so lack confidence in the logic and persuasiveness of their own arguments that, in fear, they increasingly try to ban whatever bothers them.
I think they are going to be facing some serious pushback. And the people pushing back may just prove to be tougher than the "Progressives" flatter themselves that they are.
Congress is making laws to abridge the freedom of speech or of the press? You'd think the Senate would stand in the way, or the president would veto those laws. Or are we not talking about the First Amendment?
