This account holds true in some areas, but not in others. In this illuminating work, Ronald J. Krotoszynski, Jr acknowledges that the contemporary Supreme Court rigorously enforces the rules against content and viewpoint discrimination for those who possess the wherewithal to speak but when citizens need the government's assistance to speak - for example, access to public property for protest-free speech rights have declined.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eInstead of using open-ended balancing tests, the Roberts and Rehnquist Courts have opted for bright line, categorical rules that minimize judicial discretion. Opportunities for democratic engagement could be enhanced, however, if the federal courts returned to the Warren Court's balancing approach and vested federal judges with discretionary authority to require the government to assist would-be speakers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis book should be read by anyone concerned with free speech and its place in democratic self-government.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003cbr\u003e- Law | General\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Disappearing First Amendment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45747762299055,"sku":"9781108722919","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/the-disappearing-first-amendment-book-club-top-picks-the-disappearing-first-amendment-34599936262381.jpg?v=1754071019","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-disappearing-first-amendment","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
