How to use speech in a sentence?
We used to call this Bernie Sanders in the 1970s standard speech -- we call it the' yellow legal pad speech' because Bernie Sanders in the 1970s would write it on a yellow legal pad and Bernie Sanders in the 1970s would give, it would be the same goddamn speech Bernie Sanders in the 1970s'd given 400 times in the past ! it's been the same speech. I can not watch Bernie Sanders in the 1970s in debates anymore. I won't watch Bernie Sanders in the 1970s in debates. I've heard it all before a thousand times.

These are all unique requirements that are being imposed on conservative speakers at Cal.

The defendants seemed to want to argue that their speech was protected by First Amendment rights, and I would say speech is protected. Action from that speech is not protected, so when you speak and you, yourself and others act on that speech, it is no longer protected.
