MSNBC Legal Analyst Argues for ‘Common Sense’ Speech Restrictions Live on Air
A legal analyst at MSNBC argued earlier this week that there is a need for “common sense” restrictions to the First Amendment to prevent “disinformation” online.
The comments from University of Michigan law professor Barbara McQuade underscore how many on the far left now view basic American Constitutional rights.
During an interview with network host Rachel Maddow that The New York Post flagged on Thursday, McQuade argued that current restrictions on free speech might not go far enough.
McQuade said previous arguments from the U.S. Supreme Court had set a precedent — that there are some limitations to what people can say if it is intended to create harm — but she added those might not be far-reaching enough.
