That doesn't stop them from trying to penalize you for your speech. License to Work: Dissidents Need Not Apply | RealClearPolitics
What happens when you need the government's permission to work, but some parts of the government don't like your opinions, or the way you've used your first amendment right to express those opinions? They fight dirty.
In 2018, however, when Gray applied for a PI license in Maine, where he grew up, Maine State Police turned him down because his social-media criticism of a 2017 police shooting that left two Maine residents dead demonstrated he lacked "good moral character."
He critized the police? We can't stand for that!
Occupational licensing boards, Sherman warned, "routinely act as if the First Amendment doesn't apply to them."
Go read the whole, depressing thing. And consider that 20% of Americans need the .gov's permission to work.
