Abstract

This video continues the introduction to the speech clauses of the First Amendment. The purpose of this presentation is to review the few basic rules to use as guides in applying the First Amendment. Then this presentation elaborates more on the third rule: Generally, government may not regulate the Content of Pure Speech UNLESS...and there are several unless-es. In other words: Generally, government may not regulate the Content of Pure Speech UNLESS government meets the most exacting level of scrutiny. Also, Generally, government may not regulate the Content of Pure Speech UNLESS government can show that it was not a content regulation but a content neutral reasonable time, place, and manner regulation (which gives government more leeway). Also, Generally, government may not regulate the Content of Pure Speech UNLESS the speech is in an UNPROTECTED category which government generally may regulate with a low level rational basis. This presentation begins the discussion of UNPROTECTED categories of speech. The first category that is introduced is "Speech that Advocates Illegal Action." This YouTube Channel is designed to provide my students supplemental instruction, as I teach them remotely. I want them to "take a soak" in the law and not a quick shower. This Channel is also designed to provide learning to the broader community. Learning can lead to enlightenment, and enlightenment to justice...or, at least, to a taste of justice.
