video: Robert Corn-Revere on "The High Value of Low Speech"

My good friend and mentor Robert Corn-Revere, a First Amendment attorney with the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, gave a terrific talk on "The High Value of Low Speech" at a recent Reason Foundation event.  Bob is one of the greatest living defenders of freedom of speech and expression and his talks are always inspiring, informative, and entertaining. I recommend you check it out. The video is embedded below or can be found on the ReasonTV website here.

"All First Amendment cases are about the power," Corn-Revere argues. "Who should have the power to tell individuals what to read, think, believe or feel?" He continues on to explain the recent history of controversial First Amendment jurisprudence — much of which he has been personally responsible for litigating — and explains why even "low speech" is worth defending if we cherish our speech rights.
