I remember when this decision was announced. It was supposed to be the "end of hate speech laws" and "speech codes!" We could all celebrate as freedom of speech was protected for at least another generation. Serious go on your favorite media search engine and read the op-eds.

The right needs to learn from the left here. When the SC puts down a decision that you don't like, just ignore it. They want to do all this hand wringing over "rule of law" but they are the worst offenders. Just keep hammering away on speech restrictions and when you can't use the government get big fat faceless corporations to do the dirty work for you.

And lefties get ready because the tables are going to turn and you will be on the receiving end soon enough.
