Hey Pammy, you know that if you selectively target people for investigation/prosecution for other things based on their speech, you are still violating their constitutional rights, right? First amendment retaliation is adverse actions taken to deter or punish the exercise of your first amendment rights. You don’t have to prosecute the speech itself to violate the constitution if you are specifically targeting legal action against people because of their speech. It still chills free speech.
