Law Review: Madisonian Pornography Or, The Importance of Jeffrey Sherman

“I will begin with the fundamentals of free speech theory. Why is there free speech protection at all? I will describe the classic answer to this question developed by James Madison. Then I will rebut the narrow construction of Madison’s argument that was once proffered by Robert Bork. I will show why Madison’s argument reaches toward, but does not fully defend, a right to pornography. Then I will show why Sherman’s work completes the Madisonian argument.”
