Huh?

The First Amendment states the CONGRESS shall make no law prohibiting the freedom of speech.
Last I checked, the President was not Congress.

President Trump should sign an executive order stopping the FCC from banning certain words on broadcast TV.
Like the S-word, the F-word and so on...
Then Watch CNN become unglued by that.

Hes rising the price of stamps so people cant send as many letters and amazon wont sell as many books - ergo - hes restricting freedom of speech.
Ergo ANY tax is, therefore, an attack on free speech.
Therefore - I support this lawsuit and hope it wins.

Part of our frustration is that you know for sure had Trump committed even a fraction of what the BSM media was fine with under 0bama they would be howling. (Sherry Atkinson?)

Exactly who has been stifled with free speech? Not leftists, obviously.
Stifling free speech can come from government, and also from falsely imposed limits on speech which is not politically correct - a tactic used all the time by left-wing interests. PC codes are certainly stifling and also can result often in people losing their jobs, thrown out of office or class, etc. Trump has not threatened anyone for their speech, merely used his pulpit to demonstrate his disdain for them. Leftists can certainly dish out the punishment for free speech violations of PC, but cannot take any reciprocal criticism of their own speech or political positions.

The purpose of most of these lawsuits is simply to get their organization’s name in the news.

"In the three years that Donald Trump rocketed from candidate to president, the PEN American Center has criticized him as a bully, an autocrat, a user of hate speech and an enemy of free expression. It has published studies, organized petitions and established a Press Freedom Incentive Fund".
My goodness, I'd hate to think what additional squawking they'd produce if the Prez wasn't STIFLING them...

The only speech that gets stifled is pro-Trump speech.
What chutzpah.
