First Amendment only protects “public discourse necessary to self-government.” What utter bullshit. Sounds like something derived from Queen Elizabeth I or some other 16th century monarch.

Ah… he cites “the religious and philosophical pluralism of the Colonies and their people.” So I may be off by a century or two, but yeah, he’s citing pre-Constitution discussion and willfully neglecting WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION ACTUALLY SAYS.

What an effing embarrassment.
