This is a startling read of history & precedent. He has a lot to distinguish. But for him, Supreme Court precedent isn't very relevant when its not tied to originalist reasoning? & the Alien & Sedition Acts are *positive* evidence for how to interpret the 1st Am? Bring back seditious libel, anyone?

Curmudgeon hot take: your email should be a link to a web page
Gmail and Google Workspace emails cut off emails arbitrarily after they reach the 102kb limit. Then they make reading the full email a bad user experience. There is no way to turn this off - not even for paying Google Workspace customers.
What email platforms do NOT do this?
