Freedom Of Speech As A Product Of Democracy, Arnold H. Loewy
Freedom Of Speech As A Product Of Democracy, Arnold H. Loewy
University of Richmond Law Review
There are very nearly as many (if not more) rationales for freedom of speech as there are books and articles on the subject. Without attempting to canvass them all, I think that they can be divided into two generic theories. One theory suggests that freedom of speech is essentially teleological or consequentialist, i.e. it exists to serve some other goal, usually effective participation in the democratic process.

Of course, these theories are …

The Lemon Test Rears Its Ugly Head Again: Lamb's Chapel V. Center Moriches Union Free School District, Wirt P. Marks Iv

Since 1971, Establishment Clause cases have been analyzed under the three-prong test articulated by the Supreme Court in Lemon v. Kurtzman. However, this test has often been criticized for producing inconsistent results. In addition, inconsistent application of the test by the Court, and conflicting philosophies among judges and scholars regarding the separation of church and state, have resulted in considerable objection to the Lemon test. In fact, at least five of the current Supreme Court Justices have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Lemon test as a workable framework for Establishment Clause analysis.
