Let’s get this out of the way first and be done with it. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone here when I say that I don’t align with Sean Penn politically. He’s entitled to his opinions, and under the rights afforded to him by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, he is free to express those views—and I, as an American and ardent constitutionalist, will forever defend his right to do so. That’s how this country works, at least for the time being.
