Free speech is a human right, and the free expression of thought is at the very essence of being human. The United States was founded on this premise, and the First Amendment remains the single greatest constitutional commitment to the right of free expression in history. Yet there is a systemic effort to bar opposing viewpoints on subjects ranging from racial discrimination to police abuse, from climate change to gender equity. The Indispensable Right places the current attacks on free speech in their proper historical, legal, and political context.

In the Trump Trial, Michael Cohen's second day of cross examination heated up just before lunchtime. Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche, who had been looping around for some time, zeroed in on fourteen minutes on October 4, 2016. It was just past 8 pm on that day that Cohen testified he had texted and then called Trump's body guard Keith Schiller, to tell Trump that the Stormy Daniels matter had been taken care of. The call, the record of which was put into evidence by the prosecutors, was one minute and thirty-six second long. Blanche turned the clock back a quarter of an hour. He got Cohen to ...

Lawyers don’t often admit this in mixed company, but Madiba Dennie wants to let you in on a secret: There's no one true way to interpret the Constitution. Americans saw just how subjective it can be when the Supreme Court denied basic bodily autonomy to millions of people in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, suggesting that our rights and liberties are frozen in a cherry-picked version of history. This is a line of constitutional interpretation called originalism—a framework that says we must be constrained by the meaning of the Constitution's text when it was written.

The O-1B visa is a subcategory of the O-1 visa, which is for individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement.

The relatively new judicial philosophy of textualism dominates the Supreme Court. Textualists claim that the right way to interpret the Constitution and statutes is to read the text carefully and examine the language as it was understood at the time the documents were written. This, however, is not Justice Breyer’s philosophy nor has it been the traditional way to interpret the Constitution since the time of Chief Justice John Marshall. Justice Breyer recalls Marshall’s exhortation that the Constitution must be a workable set of principles to be interpreted by subsequent generations.
