BREAKING: Jack Smith just eviscerated the Republican talking point that Trump was protected by the First Amendment when he attempted to defraud the American people. “The First Amendment does not protect speech that facilitates a crime. Speech that is used to facilitate a crime — a fraud crime in particular — is not protected under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court precedent on that is clear.”

Talarico: It should be troubling to all of us, regardless of our political affiliations or our political beliefs, that the most powerful people in the country, the most powerful politicians and the most powerful corporate executives are working together to sell out the first amendment, to sell out our freedom of speech in order to protect their own power and their own wealth. And that should be concerning to all of us, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, whether you're a Progressive or Conservative, because an attack on any one of our first amendment rights is an attack on all of our first amendment rights.

Khanna: They don't abide by the Fourth Amendment. They don't abide by the Second Amendment. They killed Alex Pretti because he had a gun… and they don't abide by the First Amendment. They're shooting people for engaging engaging in the First Amendment right to peaceful protests. They are violating every aspect of our Bill of Rights,

Jose here thinks that blocking a public road is protected by the first amendment. Not the best and brightest. What is your message to him?

Rep. Raskin: Under the First Amendment, you have the right to engage in speech that is distasteful and offensive and disagreeable. You don't get to go around as the government and police other people's speech. These are intolerable violations of the rights of the freedom of press and the freedom of speech

RFK Jr: “Tim Walz has said that he doesn't think that the First Amendment protects misinformation or disinformation, that the government gets to decide what kind of speech is protected.” “Kamala Harris has said the same thing; that if you promote misinformation we're going to punish you, you've abused your privilege. In other words to her, the First Amendment is a privilege not a right.” “When we give government the power to be the arbiter of what speech is protected and which isn't, then that is the end of democracy.”

JUST IN: The ACLU is suing Louisiana over Act 399, which prohibits interference with ICE operations there. ACLU Louisiana: "Act 399 criminalizes first amendment protected speech by essentially suggesting that if anyone were to delay, thwart or interfere with border patrol agents trying to effect arrests of individuals, they could be charged with a crime. And the reason why we believe that this is a first amendment violation is because the words delay or interfere or thwart are very vague. And we believe that the attorney general is using this vagueness to intimidate, threaten, and chill first amendment speech." Apparently deporting illegal immigrants is unconstitutional. That makes sense, right???

Trump lawyer John Lauro on Meet the Press: "The defense is quite simple. President Trump believed in his heart of hearts that he had won that election, and as any American citizen, he had a right to speak out under the First Amendment." (Jack Smith agrees!)

Remember all of the people who were claiming that Trump can’t be held liable for January 6th because of “free speech?” Well Judge Chutkan just slammed the door on that defense, saying: “It is well established that the First Amendment does not protect speech that is used as an instrument of a crime, and consequently the Indictment — which charges Defendant with, among other things, making statements in furtherance of a crime — does not violate Defendant’s First Amendment rights.” The judge also shot down Trump’s argument that he can’t be charged for actions taken during his presidency, saying: “"Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens." Video per MSNBC

.@JamesTalarico: A threat to anyone’s First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights. If we allow the most wealthy and powerful people to take down what any of us say, they’re going to come for all of us eventually

You must have free speech in order to to have a democracy—that’s why it’s the first amendment! …and the second amendment is there to ensure that we have the first amendment!”

Not only does our company believe in the Second Amendment, but we also believe in freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment. We love the United States. There is no other place in the world that shares the liberties that we cherish here on a daily basis; our products revolve around a concept that, in many other nations, is completely abolished for civilian ownership. A nation of freedom is what we have strived to be since conception, and a free nation should recognize that the burning of any flag is a protected form of free speech.

🚨 .Attorney General Pamela Bondi: “The First Amendment is one of our most important amendments, of course, in our Constitution. We will always protect the First Amendment, but you cannot create violence and that’s what’s happening…when people are working in concert to commit crimes…that can jeopardize lives and that’s when you cross the line from First Amendment to a crime—and we will prosecute you.” ⬇️
