Commercial Speech and the Twilight Zone of Viewpoint Discrimination
Commercial Speech and the Twilight Zone of Viewpoint Discrimination
This chapter applies the theory of adversary democracy to a concrete area of First Amendment doctrine, commercial speech. It explains how the communitarian theorists' rejection of protection of commercial speech because of the inherent profit motivation of the speaker represents an unprincipled application of their theory because they normally protect substantial bodies of expression motivated by concerns of personal gain.
Keywords: commercial speech, commercial advertising protection, supreme court, government suppression of expression, commercial speech censorship, viewpoint discrimination
