Joe must be an originalist (or whatever they're calling themselves now). TBF reading a newspaper aloud in the town square is not the same as a news broadcast, because we didn't have those at the time of the First Amendment.

Is this why I was never given a printing press?

People saying they will "dumb it down" for someone lead the league in dumbest shit said, period.

We probably need an exception for the tolerance paradox though.

Only a partially snarky question. Would this SCOTUS argue that because our founders didn't have TV broadcasts that they couldn't have meant news broadcasts as "freedom of the press"?

The founders had only muskets for firearms back then but the current court sees no issue with present day gun owners carrying semi-automatic weapons with high-capacity clips. I think publicly read broadsheets to TV broadcasts is pretty much the same sort of leap.

Much less of a leap, actually

If you only accept print media as “the press” then the 2nd Amendment only applies to muzzle loaders, swords, and bayonets. 🤷🏻‍♀️
