How Free Should Speech Be In Era Of War On Terrorists?(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(Q & A)
Byline: MICHAEL MIKLOFSKY
You can call for the overthrow of the government, and nobody can touch you until you create a "clear and present danger."
But 9-11 has some people wondering whether the Supreme Court's "clear and present danger" rule is a mistake.
David Lowenthal says the high court has gone too far in protecting subversive speech. He'd like to see protections narrowed so the government can go after potential threats before it's too late.
Lowenthal is a professor emeritus at Boston College and a student of the influential, late philosopher Leo Strauss. He talked with IBD about his new book, "Present Dangers: Rediscovering the First Amendment."
