A law must abide by the constitution.

Community norms are not laws, and are much more flexible, have no government enforcement mechanisms, and don't have the weight of the legal system behind them.

These are very different things when it comes to freedom of speech!

That looks like the mother of all slippery slopes to me. I'd be very, very careful around the idea that some workers of the government don't have to abide by the constitution.

		I'm confused, who here is saying that some workers of the government don't have to abide by the constitution? Certainly I have never said that!
