Come on – get into it

That is the point after all, I need a good challenge!
Anyway, the point is that the first amendment protections over speech exist because speech is by far the most powerful tool in changing the government. IOW, if I think the SCOTUS is wrong, I am going to bring my case before the people and debate this until they either change my mind or I change enough of others mind to have real influence. The public discourse has real power to effect change no matter what the SCOTUS decides at one point or another. There is always debate and public discourse. Beyond that, perhaps through speaking more about the subject, I will see the light and understand what the court was stating to the point that I agree.
I will always take agreement through real and honest debate rather than submission just because someone said so. Just because the court makes a ruling does not mean there is an end to all debate; that only occurs when we all agree or the majority get tired of dealing with us damn annoying outliers
It’s not a matter of ‘upheld.’ The SCOTUS has overruled itself on several occasions. That is not unheard of thought it is rare. The court tries its damndest to get the ruling right the first time but that is not always the case. I can also state that the people DO have the ability to overturn the court – its called an amendment. We have that power but it is a really high bar to pas – for good reason. Right now you don’t see that possibility but I believe that is only because our politics has gone so far off the deep end. Most people would not recognize freedom if it smacked them in the face let alone be willing to fight for it. Servitude is much simpler, to our great detriment. At least IMHO. Or opinion, I might not be all that humble
