And I continue to find it to be the wrong decision.

Decisions like these, as is the case here, only seem to benefit Republican leaning organizations.

"Freedom of Religion" per SCOTUS seems to only apply to Christians (Texas 10 commandments law)
"Freedom of Speech" per SCOTUS only seems to be when Democrats are asking the questions.

Because right now pro-democracy content creators all over this country are getting visits by federal agents asking them questions about their content and asking questions about other content creators they know. Saying "you didn't break the law, we just want to ask some questions and express some concerns"

As I have repeatedly said here the Constitution is a paper tiger. It's only value is for the rich and power to use the court system to create themselves loopholes or legal protection for their actions but the common people do not have that kind of access. People like me do not have anywhere near the time, money or resources to fight in court to prove my rights were violated.
Thousands of people have their rights violated every day and just do nothing but accept it because their is no alternative unless you already have money and power.
