(3,919 posts)yet, why is the judgement so broad? can it not make the distinction to protect the innocent who are not the private party expressing free speech via an ad on a public bus? why should this form of free speech be tolerated and be considered the same form of free speech as one who makes the personal decision to stand in a park and express free speech? i discern a difference and a distinction ~ why doesn't the court? were one may buy a tshirt expressing a personal opinion or with a slogan or drive a vehicle with bumper stickers - those are personal choices to free speech. so, were one to ride a public bus with a political ad - does the person then make a conscious free choice decision to accept the ideology of the advertisement? hmmmm. i do not believe the judge thought this out far enough to make such a judgement and i sincerely hope it is challenged.
