This case concerns one of our Constitution's most precious rights — the freedom of speech

only in the minds of liberals are some of our constitutional rights more precious than others.

... only in the minds of liberals are some of our constitutional rights more precious than others.

How are the rights mutually exclusive?

How does a law controlling the First Amendment speech rights of one citizen affect your Second Amendment gun rights?

Your doctor has a First Amendment right to tell you that, in his opinion, guns (insert opinion here) and you have a right to tell your doctor to go (insert unnatural act here) himself.

Once you give the State the power to dictate what a doctor can and cannot say about something you agree with, you have opened the door for the State to dictate what a doctor can and cannot say about something you disagree with.

Imagine a California law where doctors are forbidden to say that, in their opinion, the gay sexual lifestyle is far riskier that the heterosexual lifestyle.

If you don't like what your doctor says, the solution is to find another doctor and NOT to give the State more power than it already has so that the State becomes the Thought Police.

Once you establish the State Thought Police to silence those you disagree with, sooner or later, the State Thought Police will come to silence you.
