Little did Morgan know how prophetic his 2015 tweet would become five years later:

A legal ethics watchdog resigned after a lawyer he was investigating slammed him as an “anti-Muslim bigot.”
In a court filing Friday, the state board that punishes lawyers for misconduct said Jerry Morgan was “no longer employed” as a disciplinary counsel. Morgan had played a prominent role in punishing lawyers for misconduct as disciplinary counsel for the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility.
His split with the board came after a Nashville lawyer said Morgan couldn’t do his job effectively because of multiple social media posts he made criticizing Muslims and the Islamic faith.
Morgan made a slew of disparaging comments against Muslims on Twitter, praising President Donald Trump for “stopping Muslims” and “talking big against Muslims,” according to a Nov. 24 court filing. Morgan said Islam was not a peaceful religion and made comments linking the faith with violence and “Muslim terrorists,” the filing stated.
Morgan had argued in favor of sanctions against Nashville lawyer Brian Manookian, who was suspended from practicing law last year after the Board of Professional Responsibility said he violated ethics rules by sending threatening emails.
But Manookian’s attorney Daniel Horwitz argued his bias against Muslims tainted his judgement in the case because Manookian’s wife and children are Muslim.
“Allowing an extreme anti-Muslim bigot — whom Tennessee’s Board of Professional Responsibility has inexplicably employed and permitted to maintain prosecutions on our Supreme Court’s behalf — to undertake a prosecution against an attorney who has a Muslim family shakes confidence in the integrity of this entire proceeding,” Horwitz wrote in the court filing.
The filing argues that Morgan’s social media posts also show “extreme prejudice toward minorities,” including “disturbing views on ‘blacks,’ ‘illegals’ and their children, and the ‘slave’ mentality of minorities.” The filing stated Morgan also “has made countless statements evidencing extreme prejudice against ‘liberals,’ ‘Democrats,’ and attorneys who support the Democratic Party in particular.”
The Administrative Office of the Courts launched an investigation into Morgan and his social media posts. A spokeswoman for the office said Friday night that Morgan had resigned.
In a statement Friday afternoon, Horwitz said Morgan’s “apparent termination” was driven by bad publicity rather than the content of his social media posts. He said the “rot within this government agency is not limited to Mr. Morgan.”…

America reveres the freedom of speech, except when it doesn’t. Freedom of speech is fine for Leftists, but for anyone else, it’s an egregious offense for which one can be fired.
