Flag Burning and Free Speech: Legal Complexities

Sarah Isgur and David French talk about flag burning and protected free speech in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order on the same subject.

Then, husband-wife duo Sanford and Cynthia Levinson, authors of Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Framers, Their Fights, and the Flaws that Affect Us Today, join to discuss why they believe some of our contemporary political problems stem from our founding document.

The Agenda:
—President Trump's executive order
—Texas v. Johnson
—Dinkus vs. Dingus
—Greenbag.org
—NIH v. American Public Health Association
—Intro to constitutional law for non-lawyers
