Never has that been made more clear than in this last term, when four Supreme Court justices consistently expressed that they see the First Amendment as an obstacle to Left-wing governance, and would rule as such should they get the opportunity.

The ruling is eminently correct, and states that the First Amendment protects citizens from being forced to subsidize third-party groups with which they disagree. Yet four justices on the Left found this ruling offensive — and made clear that they were uninterested in protecting the First Amendment at all.
