And in almost all instances the courts have ruled that anti-BDS laws are unconstitutional under the first amendment.

Those laws are just grandstanding.

How did you get 325? There are 435 members normally (433 assuming your numbers are right with vacancies, which seems believable.) 2/3 of 435 is 290.

So you'd only need ~78 republicans with morals. Still wouldn't happen, but weirder things have.

Seriously, free speech zones are a mockery of the Constitution.

Unless we are in red flag fire weather, you should be able to burn your flag wherever you please. If we're in red flag weather, I politely request you, I don't know, paper shredder the flag?

Couldn't have happened to a better person.

Because a better person wouldn't be dumb enough to be the Republican Speakers of the House.

She did amazing things, and then stayed in office longer than she should have. I wish she enjoyed a few years of retirement.

To be fair, she ran against Kevin de León; and today would be a great day for KdL to resign.

To think some lucky voter on the east side gets the pleasure of voting against both KdL and Alex Padilla.

I bought a rotisserie chicken and was going to use the meat. Texted a friend that I was "boning a chicken."

Deboning is a word. I swear.

I wouldn't even say better features. This will be my last Pixel. I'm tired of Google just not maintaining their products at all.

I, for one, look forward to the Supreme Court ruling 5-4 that Hunter Biden deserves the death penalty for this. While simultaneously ruling that all drug users must open carry at all times. Naturally Justice Thomas would pen the majority opinion based on a strict originalist reading of the 18th Amendment.

Her dress is just cleavage. It isn't even a cute dress.

Any vote Moran misses is a win for Kansas, and America.

Responsible limits on campaign contributions are not remotely at odds with thinking money can be used on speech.

Writing a book is undeniably free speech. So why would it not be free speech if you pay out of pocket and self-publish? What if a group of people get together and pay to publish it as a collective?

Or how about Chevron running an ad saying "buy our gas." What if the ad says "buy our gas because global warming isn't real?" What if the ad says "vote for Eric Erickson, a staunch global warming denier?"

All are money, all are free speech, but not all are political speech. We don't need corporations or billionaires throwing unlimited money at political speech.
