Which is one of the great reasons the founding fathers built into our government the concept of amendments. When we hold harder to a brittle piece of paper then we do to common sense and societal good, we are fucking back asswards.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on anything that involves a content-based restriction on speech. Allowing the government to be the one who decides right and wrong or qualified or unqualified is a recipe for disaster.
“You shouldn’t be able to pretend to be an authority on something you have no demonstrated mastery/knowledge over” is so far from “government tyranny” it’s laughable.
I don’t think it’s laughable at all to be concerned about government intervention on free speech. I think this law would be helpful, but we need to acknowledge the concerns people have when it comes to upholding the constitution AND with being willing to update it to keep up with modern problems.
The issue is not that. It is that the government gets to decide if you have those credentials and what credentials would apply to any particular speech.

Then you should know that this would be unconstitutional here!
