Suit to Decide Workplace 'Hate Speech'

The Washington Times has this report about a case the U.S. Supreme Court could consider that has the potential to redefine the way the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee is applied in government workplaces. The report explains, “The words ‘natural family,’ ‘marriage’ and ‘union of a man and a woman’ can be punished as ‘hate speech’ in government workplaces, according to a lawsuit that is being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.”

America faces many daunting and divisive social, political, and moral issues whose outcomes will define us as a nation. Throughout America’s history, the judicial branch has played a significant role in resolving monumental issues as they shape our law, attitudes and values. In fact, the judiciary—especially the U.S. Supreme Court—often has the final word on weighty issues like abortion, religious freedom, free speech and privacy rights. Court Watch enables readers to track cases and issues as they make their way through the courts, as well as monitor the impact of judicial rulings on our constitutional freedoms.
