Pilots vehemently defend what they BELIEVE is in the Constitution every day to captive audiences. I'd rather teach pigs to sing then to explain what the holdings in certain cases really mean, how limited the USC jurisdiction really is, how no one who means a damn, except other liked minded pilots, is impressed by quoting random dicta like bible verses to "prove" their point about whatever. Bless their hearts.
The First limits the GOVERNMENT's ability to restrict your speech (federal, State and Local).
It in no way protects you from non-government interference with your speech. So your employer, union, etc can limit your speech and then sanction you (firing, etc) if you don't comply. There are a few exceptions which are codified in laws other than the First (ie labor organizing is protected speech).
In that spirit, APC temporarily banned CRXPILOT for over-the-top, uncivil, and outrageous speech in this case.
As someone pointed out, wishing members of judicial system dead is an attack on the system itself. The Narcos down south whack their judges all the time...is that how we want to live?

Yes, the 14th has been interpreted over time to essentially apply the entire bill of rights and all amendments to state and local governments (as I understand it).
