Maybe they should have written a simplified constitution for dummies.

So that the sorts of people who think they have a universal right to free speech can read things they are capable of understanding.

Original Version: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Simplified Version: "Those swamp people can't make me shut up. But I can stop my next-door-neighbor comin into my yard and jawin like I got all day. Shut the f- up, pal. I'm done listenin."

"Prominent conservative Margot Cleveland, whose work has been featured in several right leaning news publications, weighed in claiming any private organization has the right to decide what speech can and cannot be featured on their platform.

'Pro Tip: Saying Twitter is violating your constitutional right to free speech or your First Amendment rights is wacko b/c Twitter ain't the government,' Cleveland wrote Wednesday morning. 'Saying Twitter is 'stifling free speech' isn't. Powerful private organizations can & do stifle speech.'"

Indeed. But the Bananarepublicans only pretend to care what the US Constitution actually says. A private website cannot impact your "right" to free speech because you don't have one there. Doh.
