Just The News: Supreme Court abhors compelled speech because it “diminishes autonomy, stymies the search for truth, and extinguishes the debates necessary for the continuous improvement of our Republic,” judge says.

  1. You gotta hand it to the SCOTUS.
    They couldn’t be bothered to protect the legitimacy of the Executive Branch of the US Government, but they take the time to weigh in on a fight in a teachers’ lounge.
    Whatta sense of humor.

  2. extinguishes the debates necessary for the continuous improvement of our Republic

    Anyone that can burp such a lie, doesn’t have the mental capacity to even apprehend the discussion.

  3. This was not the Supreme Court ruling, it was a U.S. District Judge of Texas.

    These cases are close to home, where most law sets the precedent for future rulings, unless overturned by the Supreme Court.

    This was a great ruling.

  4. Gee Wally, when it comes to “justice” we’ve known for quite some time that it all depends on what side of the Liberal fence you’re on!
    Take the Duke lacrosse scandal of 2007 for instance –
    88 college “perfessers” signed a document that essentially announced that as Judge, Jury and Executioners of four White boys, without any proof or real evidence, declared that they were guilty and should be expelled!
    Later, after a REAL trial they were exonerated and it wound up costing the college tens of millions of dollars, yet not ONE, as in Zip, Zero, Nada, of those dumb-ass “perfessers” lost their jobs!

    Try costing the company you work for that kind of money and see how long you’re employed!!

  5. ^^^ What I learned from fiasco is that it didn’t matter what it cost the college because it was simply the “cost of doing business to promote the Leftist Agenda”!

  6. I’d take it one step farther than that. The civil rights division of the DOJ should do their job and file federal civil rights violation charges against the school officials.

    Not only should an environment exist on all campuses where free expression and the free exchange of all ideas can be both welcome and protected, the vital and essential ability to provide for one’s family, to clothe, feed, shelter, and secure their well-being, these are also fundamental civil rights that the school violated and removed without due process.

    Make an example of them for future safe space providers and virtue signaling champions.
