Floyd Abrams and Ilya Shapiro discuss the charges made against him at Georgetown Law School, which was about to appoint Shapiro to run its constitutional law entity when he criticized President Biden’s announced decision to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court and Schapiro’s public statement that the President would likely appoint a ”lesser black woman” to the Court rather than a stronger candidate. Schapiro was investigated for four months by the law school which then decided that his comment was made before he joined the law school and he could thus not be punished by it. Simultaneously, it warned him about such future statements leading to his resignation. Schapiro denounced the law school for not being open to dissenting views.

The United States and its allies in Canada, Western Europe and around the world share a deeply rooted belief in freedom of speech and freedom of the press. But when you look more closely you find something really interesting. We provide more protection, significantly more protection, of free-speech and free press. We lean in our judicial decisions much more in the direction of protecting, even pretty outrageous even potentially dangerous speech than anywhere else in the world. Floyd Abrams breaks down how free speech differs and is protected in America as opposed to the rest of the world.

The lawsuit filed by Johnny Depp against Amber Heard is a libel case, one brought after she wrote an op-Ed piece in the Washington Post which accused him of a great deal of personal misconduct. To win such a suit, he must not only prove that what she said was false but that she either knew it was false or suspected it was. That’s what the First Amendment requires in every case brought by a public figure. Floyd Abrams breaks down how both Depp and Heard can win this case.
