That is not what we're talking about. We have to disagree and we should disagree passionately. And again, I'm just doing a poor man's impression of Yuval Levine. The Constitution forces us to disagree within a framework that we have to build a coalition to be able to pass a law that says that you can't have social media under the age of 16. So if I go around saying that everybody who likes social media is an evil person, I'm probably not going to get the bill passed that I want to get passed. (1:04:46–1:05:00)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Constitution requires coalition-building to pass laws, such as banning social media for those under 16.
