As long as there are Republicans and conservatives in this country, we'll have free speech.

Very dubious, highly unlikely. We have free speech because it was being discussed in Paris while Jefferson was there, and Jefferson wrote Madison about it, suggesting the amendment.

Nefster:

"According to Thomas Jefferson, those most likely to suppress free speech and a free press are the
government or public officials who fear investigation of their actions."

Who fears investigation of their actions? Trump at the moment - afraid of the Epstein papers. And because Freedom of Speech exists in tension with other rights that protect reputations against injurious falsehoods, for one, Trump sues, not protect his sordid reputation, but to suppress other's speech.

And you praise that Dope, you exalt it. Goebbels would be proud.

Release the Epstein documents in full with only victims redacted, and release the videotape of Jack Smith's testimony in full.

Free speech.
