The article "The Supreme Court is Considering the Limits of Freedom of Speech in 3 Upcoming Cases" by Tessa Berenson relates to class because it discusses the limits of the Freedom of Speech guaranteed by the Constitution. We have recently discussed this and the many court cases relating to it. The article discusses three court cases concerning free speech. The first of these cases is Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, a case debating whether or not unions can take money from nonmembers of whom they are representative. Janus argues that his being forced to contribute money is compelling speech from him. On this case, I believe that Janus should not have to contribute to a union onto which he did not sign. The second case, Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, argues the constitutionality of a law banning the wearing of political insignia at a polling place on election days. I side with the MVA on the basis that the law is too broad and also an encroachment on the first amendment. The third case, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra, is a debate over whether or not being forced to advertise abortion clinics violates the free speech rights of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. I believe that the part of the law is an overstep by the government and that they cannot force anti-abortion groups to advertise against their own cause. I believe that the second part of the law, requiring the centers to have a disclaimer in up to 13 languages that they cannot provide help, however strange and pointless, is well within the reach of the government.
