UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky on the First Amendment and the Capitol Riot — A Conversation About Trump, Twitter and the Limits of Free Speech
The First Amendment Coalition has released this video of a discussion on Zoom with Erwin Chemerinsky.
The Capitol riot and its aftermath raise a host of questions about the First Amendment and free expression. Was Trump’s speech protected? When does political protest cross the line into unlawful behavior? Meanwhile, publishers and social-media platforms have taken unprecedented steps to silence speakers, including Trump. What are the implications of this crackdown for free expression generally?
Join noted constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law, in conversation with First Amendment Coalition Executive Director David Snyder.
