Book Details
Table of Contents
My passion for collecting
My passions for freedom of speech, criminal law, and Thomas Jefferson
Finding the Jefferson letter
The provenance of the Jefferson-Broadman letter
Where we have come since 1826
Jefferson's first argument : an expressed opinion can never constitute an overt act
Jefferson's second argument : if conscience is the umpire then each judge's conscience will govern
Jefferson's third argument : we have nothing to fear from the demoralizing reasonings of some, if others are left free to demonstrate their errors
Jefferson's fourth argument : the law stands ready to punish the first criminal act produced by the false reasoning?
Jefferson's fifth argument : "these are safer correctives than the conscience of a judge"
Jefferson's views on the terrorism of his era
Jefferson's actions in the Burr case
Jefferson's views on torture, habeus corpus, and other issues currently debated in the context of terrorism
How would Jefferson strike the balance between freedom of speech and prevention of terrorism?
My view, as influenced by Jefferson and the experiences of our time.
