The 1st ammendment begs to differ.

The First Amendment isn’t self-executing.

that Legal reasoning is laughable as it is for So-Called civil asset forfeiture

Civil Asset Forfeiture is another great example of Government In Practice rather than Government In Theory. Like, we can wax poetic about the Ought, but I’m talking about the Is.

These are clearly bad faith ad hoc arguments they are making.

Arguments they’re winning by stacking the courts with judges predisposed to agree.

At some point, a system is what it does. You can’t just plug your ears and scream “My high school civics teacher told me this is wrong!”
