The High Value of Low Speech: Attorney Robert Corn-Revere Defends The Right to Offend

Views:1000
@ReasonVids

"All First Amendment cases are about the power," says First Amendment attorney Robert Corn-Revere. "Who should have the power to tell individuals what to read, think, believe or feel?"

At Reason Foundation's annual Reason Weekend, Corn-Revere made the case that speech should be free even when that speech is widely reviled. He discussed the range of historical judicial opinions on the First Amendment, his involvement in defending pornographer John Stagliano against obscenity charges, his defense of the Westboro Baptist Church, and how he managed to get a posthumous pardon for comedian Lenny Bruce.
About 34 minutes. Shot by Alex Manning and Paul Detrick; edited by Zach Weissmueller.
