  • Summary


  • In this episode of 'Lest We Forget Historical,' host Lillian Cauldwell discusses the Constitution's First Amendment. She explores the viewpoint of a potential presidential candidate who strongly believes that individuals should not have the right to criticize the Supreme Court's decisions and advocates for the prosecution and imprisonment of those who disagree with the high court's decision.

    It has only been since the mid-20th century that the freedom of speech was granted to American citizens. Ms. Cauldwell presents two landmark cases: one by Chief Justice Vinson in Dennis v. United States in 1951, and another by early 20th-century Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who developed a framework that continues to influence First Amendment law today.
