He attacks so-called 'categorical' approaches to freedom of speech, adopted by the ACLU and the current conservative majority of the Supreme Court alike, that tend to ignore the concrete realities of the cases before them. One need not agree with all of his arguments in order to recognize them as a valuable intervention in a significant public debate about when, if at all, the 'market' of speech should be subject to regulation.'

This book challenges the US Supreme Court's categorical approach and explains the importance of understanding the breadth of concerns arising from regulations directly and indirectly impacting expression. The author provides in-depth analysis of some of the important social and political principles governing topics of vital concern, including campaign financing, university speech codes, secondary school rules, incitement, and threats. This book should be read by students and scholars of free speech theory and anyone interested in learning more about the history of existing law, the issues of current importance, and trends in expressive significance.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.
