Understanding the Dissent
What is the main idea of this passage?
In its past decisions, the Supreme Court has reminded us
that there are "categories of speech... fully outside the
protection of the first amendment" (United States v.
Stevens, 2010). The First Amendment has always
permitted restrictions on speech
Lies are a necessary part of communication.
For six decades, the Supreme Court ruled that lies
are protected speech.
According to past decisions, free speech is not
unlimited
Lies are not protected speech because they have
no social value
