The New Victims Of The Old Anti-Catholicism, Christopher C. Lund Feb 2012

The New Victims Of The Old Anti-Catholicism, Christopher C. Lund

Law Faculty Research Publications

Santayana once said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, the implication being that we can avoid future mistakes by paying better attention to past ones. Perhaps this is so. Or perhaps it is as George Bernard Shaw once said-that we learn from history only that we learn nothing from history. Yet one thing is surely clear. To the extent that modern injustices have identifiable historical antecedents, we rightly stand doubly condemned for them.

This Essay looks at four modern church-state cases which span the First Amendment spectrum. The plaintiffs are religiously diverse-one is a …

The Media And National Security, Robert A. Sedler Jan 2007

The Media And National Security, Robert A. Sedler

Law Faculty Research Publications

In our discussion of the media and national security, we begin with the First Amendment, not only with its legal doctrines and principles, but also with the values of the First Amendment and its function in a free and democratic society. We will first discuss how the First Amendment protects the media with respect to its disclosure of information purportedly affecting national security. We will then discuss the process by which the media voluntarily refuses to publish information on the ground that the disclosure of the information will seriously harm the national security. We will finally discuss the relationship between …

Broadcasting And Speech, Jonathan Weinberg Jan 1993

Broadcasting And Speech, Jonathan Weinberg

Law Faculty Research Publications

It is illegal to speak over the airwaves without a broadcast license. The FCC grants those licenses, and decides whether they will be renewed, on the basis of a vague "public interest" standard. The resulting system of broadcast regulation conflicts, starkly and gratuitously, with ordinary free speech philosophy. In this Article, the author argues that that inconsistency is crucially linked to inadequacies in free speech theory itself Conventional free speech theory ignores the extent to which imbalances of private power limit freedom of expression. It presupposes that public discourse takes place on a rational plane. The author explores the link …

Developments In Antitrust And The First Amendment: The Disaggregation Of Noerr, Stephen Calkins Jan 1988

Developments In Antitrust And The First Amendment: The Disaggregation Of Noerr, Stephen Calkins

Law Faculty Research Publications

A legal doctrine conceived in ambiguity seldom achieves clarity with the passage of time. Such had been the experience with the Noerr-Penningon doctrine, the principal focus of this article. In its first Noerr-Pennington decision in 16 years, Allied Tube & Conduit Corp. v. Indian Head, Inc., the Supreme Court created new uncertainties. However, it also offered hope for resolution of some of the inconsistencies that have plagued the doctrine. It did this by distinguishing sharply between harm caused directly by petitioning activity (for which petitioners may be liable), and harm caused by requested government action (for which petitioners may …
