This week, we’ll revisit the First Amendment, particularly in the context of whether it should protect “corporate speech.” We’ve talked about this before, both in this group and in a Colloquy Downeast colloquy a few years ago, but maybe we’ll find some new insights this time around.
I’ll be interested to hear whether anyone is going to argue to muzzle:
- the New York Times (a for-profit corporation that regularly engages in political speech), or
- Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and other wealthy individuals who have the financial wherewithal to buy a bigger “megaphone” than ordinary folks can afford.
We’ll see.
