They sent a legal threat to Target for selling "obscene matter" because, in part, the store sold a T-shirt with a drag queen on it.

Isn't it their Right as a Business to sell what they want? Why is the Government trying to interfere with the Business' Freedom of Speech???

The GOP is for corporate rights until they aren't.

Step 1: GOP loudly proclaims meaningless posturing and frivolous lawsuits to raise donations.
Step 2: GOP loses in court; sometimes their lawyers are sanctioned.
Step 3: GOP blames activist judges for the loss; demands more contributions; go back to step 1.

GOP uses governance the same way WWE uses athleticism - it's just a gimmick for quick money.
