The ACLU believes it to be true. But the practicalities are far from true.

I believe it does, you believe it does, but until it *actually gets applied* the veracity of the statement is unclear.

This shit is actually getting applied, though. Macy v Holder was fucking 2012. Yes, T7, but the two are almost always interpreted similarly.

That's great. Keep spreading the good word about what's technically true but functionally non-existant in practice.

There's "zero enforcement" because people get told by people like you that it's allowed.
