The attorney general has proposed criminalizing “hate speech” after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, despite Kirk describing himself as a “free speech absolutist.”
· Yahoo NewsThe MAGA base and liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor don’t see eye to eye on much, but they agree that criminalizing “hate speech” is not constitutional. Sotomayor joined right-wing commentators Tuesday morning to criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi’s proposed crackdown on free speech in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” she told a panel at New York Law School on Tuesday, according to Politico and NBC News.
