I think a more generous interpretation of his comment would be that "speech protections are only relevant for unpopular speech". Nobody needs freedom of expression to discuss how it's kind of rainy today but hopefully sunny this weekend

Alternative flippy way: I fight for your right to say your opinion, and for my right to call it stupid.

You get to call it stupid, you don't get to cut someone's water or electricity off because you think they have a stupid opinion. Same should go for having the ability to pay for stuff and receive money from people who want to give it to you, as long as what you are doing is not illegal.

Thanks, that's correct. I bet most lawyers handling important 1A cases wanted their clients to rot in hell.
