In 'The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,' Jonathan Turley provides a comprehensive and intellectually challenging analysis of the right to free speech. The book places current attacks on free speech within a historical context, highlighting parallels with past restrictions and the ongoing debate over the limits of free expression. Turley critiques the functionalist view of free speech and argues that this right is inherent and autonomous, essential to human nature. He discusses critical judicial decisions, including the famous 'fire in a crowded theater' case, and examines recent events such as the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. The book is praised for its rigorous detail and evenhanded approach, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on free speech[1][3][4].
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there’s nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration’s response to Biden’s mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg’s order because he’s blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg’s order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he’s deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims that her Virginia home was her principal residence. That was not and cannot be true because she was and still is an official of the New York government who must live within the state. What's notable about her false statements is that each one worked towards a better mortgage rate. Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.
