Democratic and Republican senators have made sneaking through a bill that attacks our First Amendment freedoms their priority. The Combating BDS Act, part of the new Senate's first bill, encourages states to adopt anti-boycott laws – the very same ones that federal courts in Arizona and Kansas blocked on First Amendment grounds.
If passed, the bill would encourage states to penalize Americans who dare to participate in a boycott, divestment, or sanction against Israel and Israeli-controlled territories. States should not be suppressing expression they find objectionable or politically unpopular, and Congress shouldn't be egging them on.
It's up to us to stop Congress from trampling on our First Amendment right to express our political beliefs.
