Winchell on Broadway court of public opinion
The piece argues the Supreme Court protects free speech but not the intent or outcome of actions. It contrasts legal limits on hate speech with criminal acts and cites Holmes and Munich to warn against allowing dangerous rhetoric to go unchecked. It criticizes the House Un-American Activities Committee for failing to define and prohibit abuses of free speech.
