Doesn't sound like something an intelligent attorney would pen.
Even if he has a point (not to be confused with a case), I would think any
legitimate and properly-educated attorney understands the First Amendment
well enough to know that a) it doesn't even seem to apply to states
(except as via the Fourteenth Amendment), b) it certainly doesn't apply to
individual business entities not connected with the government, and c) in
no case does the First Amendment justify theft of services and other
resources.
