Ilya Shapiro Speaks Freely Jun 15, 2022

Floyd Abrams and Ilya Shapiro discuss the charges made against him at Georgetown Law School, which was about to appoint Shapiro to run its constitutional law entity when he criticized President Biden’s announced decision to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court and Schapiro’s public statement that the President would likely appoint a ”lesser black woman” to the Court rather than a stronger candidate. Schapiro was investigated for four months by the law school which then decided that his comment was made before he joined the law school and he could thus not be punished by it. Simultaneously, it warned him about such future statements leading to his resignation. Schapiro denounced the law school for not being open to dissenting views.

The United States and its allies in Canada, Western Europe and around the world share a deeply rooted belief in freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

We lean in our judicial decisions much more in the direction of protecting, even pretty outrageous even potentially dangerous speech than anywhere else in the world. Floyd Abrams breaks down how free speech differs and is protected in America as opposed to the rest of the world.
