Something that's "right" can still be very wrong.
I'm surprised it was 8-1, though. I thought it would be a closer vote._____________________________________________ _______________

Another example of
"Doing things right instead of doing the right thing"!! ie do it in the most expedient manner at our disposal instead of working on the root issues that result in the greatest benefit.

that's the scary thing
Either we have a bunch of judges who think "free speech" overrides everything at any cost, or we have a bunch of judges who either don't care or are too weak to voice their true opinions.
How many times has the constitution been "interpreted" in a way that benefits the few over the many? Few: 1,000s, Many: 0.<br />

Tommy Atkins
<b>Rudyard Kipling
Tommy</b>
I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.
Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!

My thought, FWIW...
In light of the recent 8-1 Supreme Court vote, Kipling's words are more meaningful than ever. This is an emotional issue for me since my father came back from Vietnam in a metal box. Rationally, I am a firm believer in free speech, and I recognize that my father chose a military career to defend the Constitution and protect those rights.
On the personal side, I am disgusted. Free speech works both ways, so people who desecrate flags or protest military funerals should be put on notice from everybody who believes our armed forces deserve a "Bravo-Zulu" instead of torturing their widows and orphans!
