We have data in depressing abundance. What is needed is a book that explores the reasons that, for several generations now, so much ingenuity in the field of First Amendment jurisprudence and so much intellectual energy in the field of social theory have been devoted to justifying the practice of “balancing” freedom of speech against other social objectives. What is needed is a book explaining why the usual, and intended, result of this practice is a finding that those objectives—sensitivity, community harmony, social tranquility, inclusiveness, multiculturalism, and so on—are more worthy than the objective of maintaining a liberal regime of protected expression. What is needed, now more than ever, is this book.
