*Is* this a violation of the first amendment? While the behavior of WMA has been despicable, I don't see that the federal government has passed a law inhibiting speech. When we have the moral high ground we should pound Truth and Justice, rather than squandering our point with idiotic pseudolegal blather.
The democtrats do enough of that for us all.
This is ABSOLUTELY a violation of Free Speech and a violation of the First Amendment rights of those who protest the Hollywood Left.
The relationship between the US government and domain name registrars is somewhat complex, but there's no question that the privileges of all private domain name registrars companies are devolved directly from the National Science Foundation, which is the US government.
A smart lawyer could absolutely nail this in court as a First Amendment violation. It probably wouldn't result in anything more than Dotster losing its right to register domains, but hey, destroying the entire company is essentially the death penalty. I'd be quite happy, myself.
