Book Description
From one of the country's most esteemed experts on the First Amendment and the author of the classic Gideon's Trumpet, an eloquent essay on the importance of freedom of expression.
More than any other people on earth, Americans are free to say and write what they think. The media can air the secrets of the White House, the boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In Lewis's telling, the story of how the right of free expression evolved along with our nation makes a compelling case for the adaptability of our constitution. Although Americans have gleefully and sometimes outrageously exercised their right to free speech since before the nation's founding, the Supreme Court did not begin to recognize this right until 1919. Freedom of speech and the press as we know it today is surprisingly recent. Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.

1) The course of the ratification of the First Amendment is surely a clumsy one 其實放眼望去 燈塔國的法製進程也是磕磕絆絆的 有些部分現在看來也是可笑而難以置信的 but there is nothing that a state ruled by law shall hide from its residents. 2)關於價值衝突的幾個章節寫的異常精彩 但是案件的鋪陳有流水賬的嫌疑 有很多問題反而暴露瞭聯邦法庭廣為詬病的缺陷——inconsistencies. 3) The curbs on political bidding is violating the freedom of speech(of $)
評分非常好的簡史,被美國詩意的法庭意見驚呆瞭”It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment...””One man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.”
評分第一修正案簡史,liberty lies in people' heart; if it dies there, no constitution,no law, no court can save it.
評分“驗證真理的最好方法是放到公共輿論場檢驗”“警惕假藉愛國、國傢安全名義的罪惡”“國旗之所以值得尊敬是因為它象徵自由,包括焚燒它的自由”,再過五十年也寫不齣這樣的法庭意見書
評分Vincent Blasi 記者的文筆就是好啊 待做筆記 還有案件列錶贊
自由从来不会自己降临,这本书系统的介绍了美国人民争取自由的一个过程,作者以实际案例和法官们精彩的博弈做引证,从媒体,社会,个人等各个层面分析了第一修正案对美国人民生活和民主社会的影响,第一修正案的发展不仅是美国历史上的一个转折,更是全人类可以借鉴的一次民主...
評分司法能动性( Judicial Activism,又译司法能动主义、司法积极主义),指的是对美国司法制度中审判行为的一种见解。 司法能动性的基本宗旨是,法官应该审判案件而不是回避案件,并且要广泛的运用他们的权力,尤其是通过扩大平等和个人自由的手段去促进公平——即保护人的尊严。...
評分 評分在言论自由这一幅布帘之后的更是思想的自由。 Freedom is not free.自由从来不是免费品,在美国宪法第一修正案之后几十年内,众多法官与媒体仍再为社会争取最大的言论自由。从《反煽动叛乱法案》、诽谤、隐私等问题上法庭都给予了社会媒体最大空间的言论自由。 ...
評分“国会不得立法…限制言论、出版自由……”上面这句话,便是美国宪法第一修正案的核心内容。而美国人民为了这短短一句话,在两百年间利用法律所赋予的权利,不断使得法律本身得到充实和完善。 权利并非天赋。刘易斯开篇就说:今日美国“乃是世上言论最为开放的社会”。这不仅是...
