Acerca de esta escucha

A timely, revelatory look at freedom of speech—our most basic right and the one that protects all the others.

Free speech is a human right, and the free expression of thought is at the very essence of being human. The United States was founded on this premise, and the First Amendment remains the single greatest constitutional commitment to the right of free expression in history. Yet there is a systemic effort to bar opposing viewpoints on subjects ranging from racial discrimination to police abuse, from climate change to gender equity. These measures are reinforced by the public’s anger and rage; flash mobs appear today with the slightest provocation. We all lash out against anyone or anything that stands against our preferred certainty.

The Indispensable Right places the current attacks on free speech in their proper historical, legal, and political context. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not only written for times like these, but in a time like this. This country was born in an age of rage and for 250 years we have periodically lost sight of the value of free expression. The history of the struggle for free speech is the story of extraordinary people—nonconformists who refuse to yield to abusive authority—and here is a mosaic of vivid characters and controversies.

Jonathan Turley takes you through the figures and failures that have shaped us and then shows the unique dangers of our current moment. The alliance of academic, media, and corporate interests with the government’s traditional wish to control speech has put us on an almost irresistible path toward censorship. The Indispensable Right reminds us that we remain a nation grappling with the implications of free expression and with the limits of our tolerance for the speech of others. For rather than a political crisis, this is a crisis of faith.

Great teacher.

Congress should listen to him. They DO need a law school lecture on the 1st amendment.

How quickly the victim of sedition laws became the perpetrators of them when they came into power.

I found the exploration of the battles between Free Speech and sedition laws very enlightening. I suspect that there may be many a truce but it will never be settled.9

Great, remarkable history lesson, should you think we haven’t been through this thing before…in one form or another.

An exceptional read or listen, depending on how you prefer. It goes into a long history of human thought, speech, and how being able to express ourselves is an intrinsic part of being human.
The audio book is read by the author, which is always how I prefer, when consuming a book in the medium. There are a number of different theories presented, regarding how free speech is considered either dangerous to or required in a free society. I wholeheartedly recommend the book.
There is a lot covered, requiring considerable review and reflection, on my part. It may be one of those books, I need to hold in my hand and read myself, with highlighter and pen in hand.

horrible narration

While I took away a good overview of the history and thesis by the end of the book, getting the details along the way was nearly impossible because the narration is atrocious. I found myself losing his point time and time again due to his bizarre placements of emphasis on words and in sentences. Best of luck

An excellent book on protecting free speech

Very comprehensive. He works to build a foundation for why we all want free speech, to why we all want to curtail others free speech, to ultimately why it is so critically important that we all protect that right. You find yourself bouncing back and forth as he sights various cases. He helps us understand how Freedom of Speech, is in itself a "nail biter" for mankind, but critical that we keep working to get it right. Thank you Jonathan for taking the time to write about such a critical issue for our country and courts today.

Free speech as a natural riot.

His review of history and application to our times is remarkable. It is clear that we must be vigilant and protecting the right of free speech as a natural riot.

A Thoughtful Review of Our Right to Free Speech

Professor Turley Has written a very engaging treatise on our most precious first amendment right. Describing its beginnings and what came before, makes it more understandable for the casual reader.
It is a timely book in a period of rage as he points out quite well throughout.

Well, if you like truth, you've found your book!

Jonathan Turley has written a book that should be required reading for the Supreme Court judges. Turley points out numerous examples of times when free speech has been limited or completely ignored, many of them by extremely well known judges.
Turley starts with English speech history, and takes many lessons from Blackstone and his contemporaries, and brings .all those examples forward to the current time

So clear

A wonderful explanation of free speech in America from beginning to current curtailing of same. If read by many, it will create a burning desire to spread the word that free speech is necessary to establishing the real truth rather than the truth of one person or organization.

Attacks on Free Speech throughout Our History

Really interesting hearing about all the attacks on Free speech. This current Age of Rage we are enduring doesn't seem so different from past instances.
