The Irony of Free Speech

How free is the speech of someone who cant be heard? Not very--and this, Owen Fiss suggests in this incisive book, is where the First Amendment comes in. He reframes the debate by showing how restrictions on political expenditures, hate speech, and pornography can be defended in terms of the First Amendment, not despite it.
