Filmmaker Abby Martin secured a major victory for free speech on Monday after a federal court ruled that her First Amendment rights were violated when she was blocked from speaking at Georgia Southern University in 2016 for refusing to "sign a contractual pledge to not boycott Israel" in compliance with Georgia's anti-Boycott, Divest and Sanctions law.

"I am thrilled at the judge's decision finding this law unconstitutional as it so clearly violates the free speech rights of myself and so many others in Georgia," Abby Martin said in a statement on Twitter. "My First Amendment rights were restricted on behalf of a foreign government, which flies in the face of the principles of freedom and democracy."

Martin continued: "The government of Israel has pushed state legislatures to enact these laws only because they know that sympathy and support for the population they brutalize, occupy, ethnically cleanse and subject to apartheid, is finally growing in popular consciousness -- they want to hold back the tide of justice by preemptively restricting the right of American citizens to peacefully take a stand against their crimes."

Good win for free speech, and a loss for Israel, Zionists, and AIPAC the Israeli lobby.

Pledge allegiance to Israel? I don't even like to pledge allegiance to USA. Baby steps.

Totes off topic here and delving into jongoism, but I timed a trip to the john so I could miss the social pressure national anthem at the sportsball match and was amazed how many prople do the same and loiter in the hall or beer stand line. I did not feel alone, but nobody acknowledged what we appreared to be up to.

Anyhoo, take no oath but unto God, and chalk one up for Him here. Nice news. Forced speech (or lack of speech) is gay.
