that would work *if* he also defended a conservative heckler who heckled the heckler.I say it is not as Free Speech requires the tolerance of others free speech as well or else one does not have free speech. There are practical limits, but this is one of the foundational principles to the concept of Free Speech.
But a lawyer in some academic mill disagrees.
Law school dean: Disrupting free speech event was free speech
- The dean of the CUNY School of Law is speaking out in defense of student protesters who heckled a conservative speaker on campus recently, saying the "non-violent, limited protest was a reasonable exercise of free speech."
- The students disrupted Josh Blackman for roughly eight minutes as he attempted to give a presentation in support of the First Amendment, shouting that "legal objectivity is a myth" and calling him a "white supremacist."
however - life doesn't work that way and to me, no. if they wish to present counter views, great. set that up in the same manner the conservative setup their meeting. let them be afforded the same courtesy to speak their views w/o the interference. but if your only goal is to more or less silence the other party then no. the best way to illustrate this is going back to my main point -
would the liberal be upset if this were done to them? if so, shut the fuck up.
