Speaking for a Living and the First Amendment

The freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment is a foundational and cherished right that sets America apart from other constitutional democracies.

Today we have with us IJ Senior Attorneys Paul Sherman and Robert Johnson to discuss this trend and why it is affecting more and more Americans.
