I think this pass by the Supreme Court on hearing the case against banning masks in New York is a pretty sad statement about free speech in america. Anonymous speech strikes me as some of the most important speech to protect. After all, if you’re speaking out in unpopular ways against the powers that be, might you not want to hide exactly who you are to avoid harrasment and intimidation?

Or am I being too loose in my interpretation of "or abridging the freedom of speech"?
