Here I discuss the cancelled Trump rally and my minor disagreement with @justinamash over freedom of speech: http://ariarmstrong.com/2016/03/trump-cruz-and-freedom-of-speech/ …
@evanbernick Natural rights not ordinarily described as "freedom of." Constitution includes phrase bc of relationship to govt. @ariarmstrong

@justinamash@ariarmstrong Thus, Patrick Henry referred to "freedom of press" as among "the rights of human nature" 2/2 -
@evanbernick We are arguing semantics. My point is that the phrase "freedom of" is misleading in non-government context.@ariarmstrong -
@justinamash@ariarmstrong Freedom of speech in 1A is a natural right, but it's specifically protected against gov (hence, "no law").
