Heh. Where in the Constitution does it say that corporations have to allow you to say anything?
The First Amendment ONLY applies to governments, state, local or federal. No one else.
This is boilerplate language. It's interesting, I suppose, but it doesn't mean a damn thing until they try to enforce it. They could have put in language that required the customer to insert a carrot into their ass ever 3rd Thursday and sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" naked on their front lawn while balancing an egg on their head, but until they actually started trying to make people do it, it's a waste of ink.
Contractual law is all about what part of the wording is enforced. If no one bothers to enforce provisions of the contract, they become wastes of paper. And contractual law has as much to do with free speech as it does with voting rights. |
I thought exactly the same thing. It is amazing to me just how misinformed or ill-informed people are just about small fundamental things like this. I am allowed by my own rights to suppress your First Amendment and Second Amendment rights on my own property. To think otherwise is very ill informed and the very notion of LACK of freedom if I have allow YOUR rights to trump my own on my own property.
