@chrisgeidner Well, uh… -
@theglipper IS THAT A THING!? -
@chrisgeidner I suppose you could argue that the right to travel is sort of a dormant First Amendment, but… -
@theglipper It's intriguing. Both sides are arguing this far more aggressively & personally than I normally see. Condescension normally ... -
