Salazar that \"talk therapy\" is protected speech—full stop.\nColorado tried to claim they were just regulating a \"medical procedure,\" but the Court saw right through the smoke. Today, we’re breaking down how Justice Gorsuch and the majority sent a clear message: the state cannot ban a counselor’s viewpoint just because they don't like the message. This isn't just a win for counselors; it’s a firewall for every American professional who refuses to be a mouthpiece for the state.\nIn this episode, we’re diving into:\n🥊 The 8-1 Knockout: Why even the liberal wing couldn't ignore this blatant viewpoint discrimination.\n🗣️ Conduct vs. Speech: How the Court dismantled the “professional speech” argument.\n🎉 Victory for the First Amendment: Why Chiles v. Salazar is the most important free speech win of the session.\nTune in as we dissect the legal victory that illustrates once and for all: the Constitution means what it says. The government shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tfJ60DQh1Sqp0Pnsb_m5kmCMEzB1WG0x2HPFASt1SUA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMTdm/Y2Q5NTk5NTEzZTg2/MTRmOWIwYzNjOTY1/YTI0YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
