Stanley Fish at the NYTimes.com: And there you have it: a clash between the worship of freedom of speech and a concern for the quality of public life in relation to which free speech may sometimes be asked to take a back seat. It is the same clash that pits the freedom to play video games against society’s interest in fostering a generation of young adults responsive to its ideals and aspirations. We have seen this before — in the pornography cases, in the crush-video case, in the case upholding the right of an anti-gay ministry to picket the funerals of soldiers — and we shall certainly see it again.

WSJ.com: The more stubbornly corrupt the government is, the more justified it is in curtailing fundamental liberties.

The Hill: “The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear two legal challenges to Arizona’s public financing of election campaigns.”

Associated Press: “The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider dismantling an Arizona rule that gives extra money to publicly funded candidates who face privately funded rivals.”
