Its the first time ive used this one actually, so we are still learning our way here. Today we are talking about free speech. We have been talking about equal protection. Weve been talking about race discrimination and gender and things like that. Now we are pivoting to a core part of the bill of rights on a different section entirely, its all about free speech.
