The governor of Pennsylvania has issued an executive stripping state employees of their First Amendment rights and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression says it is looking forward to fighting him in court.

The FIRE explains that Josh Shapiro’s “sweeping executive order” insists that public employees, even when not on duty, now are gagged from expressing any opinion that someone, somewhere, somehow, could define as “scandalous” or “disgraceful.”

The Fire called that “an impossibly vague restriction effectively prohibiting wide swaths of speech protected by the First Amendment.”

  1. Democrats = taking away every freedom that is constitutionally granted to every American citizen.
    Democrats = It’s all for me and nothing for you.
    Democrats = Do as I say, not as I do.
