Executive order turns the 1st Amendment on its head
Now the Trump administration has repurposed the First Amendment. Even those of us who are many years away from being bleary eyed law school students will recall that the First Amendment protects citizens from government restrictions on free speech. Not the other way around.

How interesting that the Trump administration has become a virtual law school class, bringing heretofore obscure provisions in the U.S. Constitution into mainstream conversations or putting a new spin on well-known ones. Before Donald Trump became president and refused to divest himself of personal businesses from which he profits while in office, few had even heard of the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution.
