Completely untrue. There are all sorts of ethical codes you must follow as a gov employee.
Its not "completely untrue" even if there are outlier examples you can use. Especially political speech--courts have always granted wide latitude when it comes to potentially infringing upon that.

Any lawyer who would assist this piece of filth in her suit against the university should be publically named with billboards and shown to every decent citizen in the area what a POS they really are. I would also be willing to bet that they are probably UT fans and will sit in their skybox seats during the ballgame paid for with the money they made from this settlement. Utterly disgusting and there is no defense for it. The 1st Amendment gives you thr right to free speech, but it does not give you freedom from your consequences. the University is probably full of lib lawyers who felt like they could not put forth an adequate defense to their actions. the money should come from their pockets not from the state of TN nor the students's parents.

It does from the government. That's literally the point. Free speech ceases to exist if there are govt consequences for it

UT decided to settle rather than subject a donor to disclosure.

I agree. Only people whose views I agree with deserve legal representation!

You have no idea what you're talking about. Take a look at what classified LA employees cannot do for example.

Do you know how juries work? Whether it is or is not protected speech, the chances of 6 or 12 people Tennessee awarding money to someone fired for celebrating a political assassination are very low.

It will be interesting to see what people like you and rfk say when Trump starts getting justice against the people who tried to destroy him. I'm sure that, somehow, you will say that's "different."

I am confused, it is legal to fire someone for saying something you do not like. You cannot be arrested, but you can be fired.
How are some of you this fricking stupid in not understanding this. There was no free speech issues here.

Wouldn't this logic mean that "some men are born with vaginas" is completely true, because of those weird intersex fringe cases?

You're talking to a walking piece of human shite. Of course he doesn't know what the frick he's talking about. Even if he did he would take the more evil view 10 out of 10 times.

Who's denying that that doesn't happen though? Certainly not me, Doesn't make the tranny mafia any les crazy, but cool strawman I guess.

It's rarely enforced depending on which way you go. I'll let you guess which way gets the latitude in the NOLA area

Yes, your anti-Constitution takes on this website are well-documented.
No one has a right to say whatever they want, to the detriment of their employer, as this settlement would suggest. This is not something I will defend.
Also, you won't be able to point to any anti-Constitution takes from me.

Is it? Is saying the sky is blue "completely untrue" just because there are times when it appears orange?

Cannot do? Or cannot say? You are really struggling to keep up here
