First Things First: A Discussion on the First Amendment, Petition v. Sedition, & the Rule of Law
The rights protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution are essential for the proper functioning of a responsive democracy. Too frequently, the First Amendment’s core freedoms are ignored or weaponized to suit the political and policy priorities of those in power. The U.S. Supreme Court inconsistently applies longstanding First Amendment jurisprudence, ignoring precedents they deem inconvenient. The Administration targets those whose speech it disfavors, from law firms to private individuals. State and local governments are quick to criminalize protected protest activity to stifle dissent and chill social movements. These actions raise important questions as to whether our legal and political systems can safeguard First Amendment rights for all, or whether skewed and selective application of these freedoms will become the norm.
Please join ACS at Michigan Law for a discussion on the right to criticize or advocate against administration priorities with Professor Barbara McQuade and Professor Michael Steinberg , on how the weakened rule of law can affect the protection of these rights, and what we can do about it.
