And one thing that he did that alienated a lot of his colleagues was he was calling for the establishment of the State of Israel, which in 1920s was extremely controversial because Jews at that time were really well established in America and in Europe, and they were afraid of being accused of dual loyalty, right? So if Israel comes into being, then people will be like, well, are you loyal to the United States or are you loyal to Israel? Which is exactly what's happening today.
Jiang XueqinGUEST

That is not enough of a justification to censor it.
Nadine StrossenGUEST
15:22
And the first eloquent articulation of that principle came from not only a member of the Supreme Court, but the first Jewish justice on the Supreme Court, Louis Brandeis, who was unexcelled in terms of his commitment to Jewish community, Jewish safety, Jewish dignity, and Jewish equality.
Nadine StrossenGUEST

Eric FingerhutMODERATOR
18:34
Now, is this incitement? What should we be doing about this case?
Nadine StrossenGUEST
18:38
So incitement, intentional incitement of imminent violence that's likely to happen imminently is just one type of speech that can satisfy this emergency concept that dates back to Louis Brandeis.
Nadine StrossenGUEST
18:52
But what you're describing, Eric, is yet another category of unprotected speech under the emergency principle, and one that many of the courts in the cases that Claire described earlier have found satisfied, and by your description of these facts, I think would be satisfied here, as it was also satisfied in the Charlottesville situation, but only after the court hearing, so I want to get back to that.

Nadine StrossenGUEST

So I'm not good at arithmetic, but it's a very small percentage of the time between 1791 and The 1960s, which is when we first started getting consistent Supreme Court majorities actually breathing life into the promise, the paper promise or the parchment promise, to paraphrase Madison, of the free speech clause.

Chris WhalenGUEST
6:27
So when you have a situation like that, Julia, to pretend that you're giving them control, but you are reserving dominion, to paraphrase Louis Brandeis on the Supreme Court, is an act of fraud.
Chris WhalenGUEST
