Freedom from Viewpoint Discrimination

This notion of “viewpoint discrimination” as violating the First Amendment is well established in the law. In 1943, Justice Robert Jackson wrote, that “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.”

This powerful statement was written by Justice Robert H. Jackson in the majority opinion for the landmark Supreme Court case West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943). The case addressed the issue of whether public schools could compel students to salute the American flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, ultimately ruling that such actions violated the First Amendment's protection of free speech.

Justice Jackson's words have since become a cornerstone in discussions about individual freedoms and the limits of governmental authority.

Dino, Trump, and the First Amendment

Since Dino is afraid to answer, I'll answer for him.

Yes, Dino believes Trump should have the power to STOP CBS from airing a news show investigating his misconduct.

Why? Dino believes it would be embarrassing for Trump and that this justifies Trump suspending the First Amendment.
