Trump, Incitement, and Free Speech
Andrew Koppelman, Balkinization - 4 hours ago
Josh Blackman and Seth Tillman argue at the Volokh Conspiracy blog that, even if Trump culpably incited the cop-killing riot in the Capitol building, he cannot be impeached for it, because his speech is protected by the First Amendment. They cite the extremely protective standard of Brandenburg v. Ohio, which limits criminal punishment for incitement. But they neglect to mention the more pertinent area of free speech law, which concerns the disciplining of public employees because of their speech. Under that doctrine, there is no protection for speech made in the course of an ...

As a result, it has been the workers, the migrants, the women, and others, whose unpaid and underpaid labor serves as the basis for capitalists to profit, who have suffere...
