The Identical Treatment of Obscene and Indecent Speech: the 1991 Nea Appropriations Act |
67 Chicago-Kent Law Review 1107 (1991) |
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. De gustibus non est disputandum. Just as there is no use arguing about taste, there is no use litigating about it.

67 Chicago-Kent Law Review 515 (1991) |
This essay concerns a pattern in treaty actions of the U.S. Senate which tends to weaken the domestic legal effect of treaties.
