Pam Bondi’s Ridiculous 24 Hours
Charles C.W. Cooke: “It has not been a good 24 hours for Pam Bondi, the attorney general of the United States. Yesterday, on the Katie Miller Podcast, Bondi said: ‘We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.'”
“Actually, she won’t. She won’t ‘target’ or ‘go after’ anyone for ‘hate speech,’ because, legally, there is no such thing as ‘hate speech’ in the United States, and because, as a government employee, she is bound by the First Amendment. And if she tries it anyway? The Supreme Court will side against her, 9-0.”
