8. Not only that, and there might be something to it

in the US Legal System there is no precedent. Trust me, an expert witness might be able to convince a court\jury of this... whether it is valid or not. But for those who want to use this to say that well, current subject of our devotion is not allowed what we understand as constitutionally protected speech ... that legal precedent is kind of non existent.

I have no issue thinking that there is something to it. There is some psychology that points to this, outside of KOSS, but then there is the pesky law. Why I pointed out that perhaps some folks here want to make some legal history. Because short of that, we can discuss that here, and everywhere else, but the law is not touching this.

here you go for articles in journals

Now perhaps an adventurous lawyer might want to try this route. If they do, let me know... because that is one legal case I am interested to follow, I suspect all the way to the SCOTUS.
