So much for precedent, so much for the American people. Perhaps we can have a Pepsi logo on the court now (free speech and all).
Brought to you by Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia and Kennedy: “we don’t just interpret the laws, we make them”
One of the issues is that the Constitution enumerates specific powers delegated to Congress, none of which is the abrogation of free speech by individuals or corporate entities. If this is a major issue then Congress and the states should take it up and amend the constitution. I have mixed feelings, but honestly would rather Congress have less power and states and private sector more. States in particular should (and probably do) have the right to regulate this sort of thing. Why do we look to the federal government to do everything?
