New case should compel Supreme Court to protect free speech and faith

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : In his eloquent and wise dissenting opinion, Judge Timothy Tymkovich strongly defended the First Amendment while noting succinctly and inarguably that "the freedom to speak necessarily guarantees the right to remain silent."Even apart from questions of faith, Tymkovich noted that the Supreme Court has long established that "compelled speech" is presumptively unconstitutional.
50% : The judges thus approve a violation of not one but two key parts of the First Amendment.
47% : A straightforward reading of the First Amendment should make this an easy decision in favor of the professional -- against Colorado's despotic statute.
46% : Indeed, we all should join in celebrating that the First Amendment is the constitutional, and immensely ethical, embodiment of Thomas Jefferson's famous vow: "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
