This article is absolutely hilarious. Total MUST READ! The way the name has been changed to "hmmm*" is one of the best things I've ever seen in a political article. The to do's and not to do's are relatable but still used in a comic manner. Don't talk about Aux Cords during First Amendment week?!? Why? But why not! The idea of a week dedicated to free speech adoration is great too!

Supreme Justice Against the First Amendment
https://www.wgbh.org/news/commentary/2019/02/20/clarence-thomas-wants-to-eviscerate-the-first-amendment
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is Presidents Trump's first ally in his fight against freedom of the press. It's very alarming that people with so much power want to turn the clock back all the way to a "pre-civil rights era." The First Amendment is first for a reason, because it is arguably the most important. Reversing a court decision that sets a precedent based on the First Amendment would have ginormous consequences. What made this article even more interesting is the notion that this opinion appeared as if out of the blue. It is shocking that an opinion such as this one could lie dormant for so long.
