An NBA player sues the Washington attorney general to address free speech rights for doctors

Journalism seems so cutthroat to me. Sleep in one day and it's like missing a calculus class.

'"The Washington Medical Commission, I think, is an outlier in most states. They're taking the position that speaking out against the COVID narrative is an act of moral turpitude, which they're saying gives them the statutory authority to sanction physicians," Jaffe said on Thursday.

"To me, that's kind of crazy… We have a history of at least going back 75 years, allowing professionals to speak out in public. I don't think there's any court case that's ever held that a professional can be silenced."

"In terms of his speech to the public… that's kind of a new concept," he continued. "Hopefully that's not going to work, but nobody has challenged Washington yet so far on this, and we intend to do that."

The lawsuit requested a declaration claiming that the state's ability to sanction doctors over their stances on COVID "violates the substantive procedural due process rights of Washington licensed physicians," according to The Spokesman-Review."
