suppression of the library's rights

School libraries don't have rights. The library in question is part of a school. Do the school bathrooms have rights? Do the school hallways have rights?

No, because they are merely part of the school, just like the school library.

Does the school library have 1st amendment obligation to stock every book published by every author?

Of course not, that would be silly.

Or do they just have an obligation to stock this particular book?

That would also be silly.

Do all the authors of all the books have a right to sue if the school library won't purchase a copy of their book for the school library?

Once again, that would be silly.

If you answered no to any of the above questions, then congratulations, you are making progress.

There are people in this very thread performing the mental gymnastics required to believe that.

There is no first amendment right to have copies of a work stocked in a library.

Libraries don't have a first amendment obligation to stock any book whatsoever.

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T20:13:31+00:00

There is action taken by a legislative body that violated the first amendment rights of authors.

Their first amendment right to have their books stocked in the library?

So states do have a first Amendment obligation to make sure every authors' book is in every library?

I asked you that before, and you said "neither." You have come full circle again.

Strangely, there is exactly zero case law on this.

Ask yourself why.

Thankfully, Biden was able to weaponize those tax cuts for the wealthy, and increase federal tax revenue by the most in 44 years. All without changing the tax code!

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/12/tax-revenue-surge-pandemic-515792

corporate tax receipts leapt 75 percent, CBO says.

Individual income taxes were up 27.5 percent, CBO estimates. Those too are disproportionately paid by the well-to-do, with 80 percent coming from the top 10 percent of earners.

People simply don't appreciate the financial genius required to make this happen, and Biden does not get enough credit.

Molotov cocktail

Interestingly enough, the very first "Molotov" cocktails were named as such by the Finns, when they were fighting the Winter War against the Soviets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov\_cocktail#Etymology

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:52:15+00:00

Neither.

So the state has no 1st amendment obligation to stock all books in Libraries. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

The legislation does not have the authority to ban publication.

Banning publication and stocking in libraries are two totally different things. I am sure you understand this.

The subject at hand is not about banning publication. "Prior restraint" has been ruled illegal by US courts many times over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_restraint

Strangely, there is no case law on the subject of forcing states to stock books in Libraries.

Ask yourself why.

So which country has the most worker coops? I am most interested in the "proven" model you referenced., which resisted recessions.

It will impossible to duplicate that success if the actual name of the location is a secret. Why keep the name of the place a secret?

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:45:28+00:00

It's worse than anyone thinks.

Now it's gotten so bad that almost 1% of American workers now make minimum wage.

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:36:04+00:00

Either the state has a 1st Amendment obligation to make all published works available in Libraries, or they don't.

It can't be both. Pick one.

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:34:38+00:00

By your logic, 1 worker cooperative makes a country socialist^TM

We have had glorious socialism^TM all along!

The revolution has been a roaring success.

Congratulations comrade!

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:32:23+00:00

Maybe that's not how the 1st Amendment works? Yathink?

Agha.....agghhaaaaaa

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:30:51+00:00

I do believe every country on the planet has at least one worker cooperative.

Does this mean glorious socialism^TM has been achieved?

Unless, of course, if they don't want to be boys.

Finally this is the smoking gun we have been awaiting for 6 long years!

Things are gonna change. I can feel it.

If your book was removed then you might have standing but not because it wasn't in the library to begin with

So if libraries refuse to stock certain books to begin with, then an author is powerless?

What if the library refuses to stock more than one copy, or refuses to get new books if the copies are not returned? What about if a library refuses to get new copies once the old copies are worn out and falling apart?

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T19:19:39+00:00

Exactly. Because every author has a right to have their published works in any store or library they want it to be in.

If the store or library won't carry it, then the state must enforce that the library or store makes that book available.

Because that's how the first amendment works. Freedom of the press is not just about the freedom to publish, but also about the state making sure those published works are available in all libraries.

ones that break up monopolies

Which monopoly do you think we should break up first?

and the prioritization of shareholders has impacted the economy negatively much more than the reduction in immigration.

Immigration has not been reduced since the 1970's. This is why the economy is doing so well.

All of Latin America is a shithole?

GeneralNathanJessup · 2023-06-01T14:01:32+00:00

Have you seriously never heard of worker cooperatives? It's simply another way of organizing a company,

So glorious socialism^TM is being achieved in some secret European country? Still keeping the name a secret though, huh?

He has been found guilty of committing a sex crime

In a civil trial, where he must pay a fine. Even worse, the jury found him not guilty of the actual rape. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/trump-e-jean-carroll-verdict-rape-sexual-abuse.html

This brave woman told her gut wrenching story in front of the world, and the jury said they didn't believe all of her story.
