      Your three votes won’t be enough, so arresting reporters will be constitutional………..

      Shouldn’t anybody be able to ask police questions? Doesn’t mean they have to answer them, but to get arrested for asking questions??

      Agreed but if the SCOTUS says it, then it will be law of the land until there is an administration that will defend the constitution. Which feels like something we are getting further and further away from

      In 2028 Alito and Thomas will be 80ish and Reddit will tell you Gavin is trash.

      I understand her point of view and I’m sure she’s correct, except for her characterization that the Supreme Court made a mistake. They don’t want to defend the First Amendment.

      Okay, add it to the pile.

      This is the same admin that ordered their private militia to kill two innocent Minnesotans and nobody saw a lick of time in court for it.

      They don’t give a shit about the constitution or the law.

      Qualified immunity protecting constitutional violations that seem like they might be intentional is fucking insanity

      „they wanted to get her, but, oops, they are allowed to“ cannot be correct

      We are pretty fucked when A supreme court justice stating the obvious is a news worthy event.

      Sotomayor is absolutely right. Arresting a reporter for asking questions is the kind of thing youd expect from an authoritarian regime, not here.
