In this episode of Randy Unscripted, I unpack the often-misunderstood idea of the “spirit” of the First Amendment. Many people invoke it when their speech faces criticism, but the amendment’s true purpose is to protect citizens from government interference — not public disagreement. Join me as I explore why understanding that distinction is key to preserving real free speech in the digital age. This episode is based on a blog post found on my website: https://randallblack.com/blog/the-myth-of-the-spirit-of-the-first-amendment/.
