RACE, ENTRAPMENT, AND MANUFACTURING "HOMEGROWN TERRORISM" |
111 Georgetown Law Journal 381(March, 2023) |
At what point does offensive speech cross the line from being constitutionally protected to criminal? Rarely--would be the response of a free speech purist. Indeed, the First Amendment is intended to protect unpopular, offensive, and even subversive speech. Although this lesson may be taught to American schoolchildren, it is not the lived... |
