As a dues-paying card-carrying member of the American Civil Liberties Union, perhaps I should celebrate the Supreme Court striking down buffer zones in front of abortion clinics in the name of free speech. But I’m not celebrating.
Suppose when I went in for my radiation treatments I had to pass through a line of people telling me to pray, telling me I was going to hell, getting in my face, screaming insults.
We are not talking about rational debate here. Intimidation and threats are not protected speech. The justices need to hang up their robes occasionally and visit the real world the rest of us live in.
