No, Hank, that was my point in bringing up the "where is the state action" comment. AG's position was simply to quibble with me that Al didn't specifically say 1st Amendment therefore, he could not have possibly been thinking he was somehow standing up for the 1st Amendment.
My main point was only that Al Frankenberry is a typical lay person who thinks that another private citizen (not acting on the government's behalf) speaking loudly over you somehow infringes your 1st Amendment rights. I think that Al sees himself as this protector of constitutional rights. The irony being that he was suppressing another's speech to supposedly protect someone else's speech.*
