Bezanson thoroughly explains the major fault lines and unexplored but key tensions in some of the most difficult and contentious contemporary First Amendment debates. He also offers a thoughtful and persuasive methodological assessment of the contemporary Supreme Court’s approach to First Amendment problem solving and critiques techniques of oral argument and questioning by both justices and advocates.” —HELEN NORTON University of Colorado Law School “Too Much Free Speech? is a timely and important exploration of recent Supreme Court decisions that extend the meaning of free speech to include, for instance, the expression of political views by corporations. The writing is clear, lively, and interesting, and it addresses essential matters of public concern such as the expansion of government speech at the expense of private expression.” —JOAN DELFATTORE author of Knowledge in the Making: Academic Freedom and Free Speech in America’s Schools and Universities UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS Urbana, Chicago, and Springfield www.press.uillinois.edu 9 7 8 0 2 5 2 0 3 7 1 1 5 9 0 0 0 0 ISBN 978-0-252-03711-5 ...
