Macaulay Andy saw that Edward was getting more and more energetic, and hurriedly jumped up, "So social security, you don't think about it?" ”

Edward: "Not only social security, but also more important national security is something that every citizen should pay attention to. But "

"National security is not the only value within the bastion of freedom. Security must be based on the values of free institutions. For the sake of people's more important values such as freedom of expression and the right to information, governments must tolerate individual actions that seem excessive. This is true for the government, and the same is true for the school...... I'd suggest you see how Yale and Harvard handle similar cases."

Edward was also scolding Principal Lehman for being a bastard when he said this, in fact, New Haven had a reckoning with the fall, and he knew that several young lecturers and associate professors were forced to leave, but the Yale president's approach was obviously much more ingenious - it didn't cause a violent social repercussion, so whatever you did, the principal played with it.

Edward continued, "Madison said: 'There is always some degree of abuse in the actual operation of any matter, and this is especially evident in the case of individual freedom of speech. However, I always think that leaving some turnip leaves and letting them wither freely will be more beneficial to the growth of the tree than to cut it directly. ‘”

"In liberal arguments, wrong opinions are inevitable; If free expression is to find the breathing space on which it depends, it must protect the expression of erroneous opinions. Justice Blake said it well and expounded his views on public power, however unpleasant, and it was the supreme honor of Americans. “

Edward eventually concluded his statement.

Then Macaulay Andy also began his tirade.

In the end, the Executive Committee voted, and everyone except one voted agreed with Edward's view, which is a typical civil rights case.

The speech devised in this case is supposed to be protected by the First Amendment.

So the San Francisco ACLU must be dispatched!

Well, it's a landslide victory.

It's just that what happened after that caught Edward by surprise.

The Board then asked Edward to write an opinion on the legal issues involved in the case, and the San Francisco ACLU confirmed its content and submitted it to the Faculty Committee at Stanford.

Edward's eyes darkened, and he said in his heart, ginger is still old and spicy......

As a result, the San Francisco ACLU can sit back and enjoy it with little effort, and the ensuing anger of Principal Lehmann can only be directed at Edward.

Their words were also very high-sounding, and since Franklin was looking for Edward, he had enough obligation to help the former, not to mention that the First Amendment happened to be his specialty.

But when you think about it, they actually provide an endorsement service, and it's a great achievement to be able to persuade them to do so.

The question is......

He himself felt that this was still a bit unreasonable.

Moreover, after all, he has a contract with the research center, and it is very clear that he was invited to do research and not to be a lawyer, especially to work against the university.

After Edward returned to the cottage, he thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was not a good idea to write an opinion rashly.

So, he put pen to paper and sent a report to the research center.

Something to the effect that someone who thinks they can write an opinion on the Franklin case and makes sure that this does not interfere with their day-to-day research work at the research center wants the center to approve it!

With that, the ball was kicked to Stanford.

Of course, he hoped that the research center had better not approve it, so that he could push the matter to the ACLU in a big way, and he could choose the most appropriate time to re-enter.

The actual result is...... The research center actually agreed.

Edward had no choice but to take a night train and write about the things that were so important to him that he could make a name for himself on the West Coast.

At the same time as the research center approved, it naturally made a report to the authorities, and President Lehmann immediately learned about it.

It can be seen that the director of the research center is obviously also a veteran of politics, if he openly opposes Edward's writing of opinions, then it is tantamount to carrying all the pressure on his head, and the director of the small research center is definitely not as powerful as President Lehmann, and the media will scold him to death unscrupulously.

Moreover, the denial of this act itself seems illegal, because Edward is not breaking the contract - he is simply trying to relieve himself of the pressure......

After approving it, it was reported to Principal Lehman as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, of course, it is certain that he will be scolded, but Principal Lehman is also a clear person, and after scolding, he also knows that things can only be done this way.

Edward stayed up late writing and scolded at the same time, this group of old bureaucrats is too annoying, and they are monkeys with hair sticking to each other!

As for Principal Lehmann's counterattack, it came quickly.

The next night, Edward heard the headmaster's anger on the school radio broadcast: "It is a myth that all speech is protected in the constitutional sense!" Not a single lawyer in the United States who is well-versed in the Constitution would dare to say that, not even Mr. Edward Young, who came down from Yale to Stanford to save us from our sins! ”

How dare you say it...... Edward sighed, but it can also be seen that Principal Lehman is really a man, very straightforward, and dares to spray this kind of thing publicly.

It's a pity that this is the Republican California, and it would be nice for him to be in New York.

The counterattack was still needed, and Edward immediately wrote a letter and personally sent it to the editorial office of the Stanford University Daily, asking for it to be published as soon as possible.

The editor-in-chief was very polite, but he said that the layout was tight and he would not be able to publish it in the short term or within two months.

Edward's nose was crooked when he heard this, and two months later, the Franklin case was about to start a big debate next week......

HE WASN'T ANGRY, HE JUST REMINDED HIM THAT HE WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE WEST COAST, BUT HE WAS WELL CONNECTED IN THE EAST COAST JOURNALISM, AND IF HE WASN'T GOING TO GET IT PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND BROADCAST AS A MAJOR NEWS ITEM IN FAKENEWS, IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME TO COOPERATE AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE OTHER ARTICLES.

At this time, Edward knew that he was famous, and as soon as his "pleading" came out, the other party immediately said that everything was negotiable.

As a result, it was reported the next day.

"In the firing of Franklin, there was a crucial issue of civil rights. If Dr. Lehmann is willing to discuss constitutional or civil rights issues with me, or on the ACLU's claims, I would like to debate with him on substantive legal issues......"

The old rule, Edward follows the routine he is most familiar with, no matter what he is most familiar with, he pulls the other party off the field first, as long as it is one-on-one, he has the hope of winning, and he must not fall into the situation of being beaten by a group - this is the truth that every boy who grew up in the Polo Park community must know - otherwise it is likely that he will not grow up......

As a result, Principal Lyman, worthy of being an old fox, did not respond to this matter at all, and it was obvious that the think tank around him had already compiled Edward's previous "glorious achievements" into a book and reported it to the Principal.

Principal Lehman not only refused to debate, but also intensified his personal attacks on Edward through various media, and the sycophants around him took the opportunity to show their loyalty.

For a time, Edward fell into the disadvantage in the field of public opinion.

But......

It's just a matter of falling into disadvantage.

These invective attacks would have had no effect on the thick skin of his walls, since the ginseng rooster he received in the Sheldon and Bergman cases could go more than twice around the equator in a row.

But President Lehman's attitude had a direct impact on the Professors' Council, which was considering Franklin's case.

They simply rejected the San Francisco ACLU, either to provide an oral defense for Franklin or to accept the opinion drafted by Edward.

Things started to get a little stiff.

Every night on the campus radio, you can hear all sorts of people taking turns scolding Edward.

How can you just be scolded and not fight back?

It's not his style of loving someone!

Principal Lyman also knew that this guy was helpless in the West Bay before he dared to be so presumptuous.

Can......

A few days later, a new issue of Womanizer magazine was published.

Many old readers, instead of taking off their pants and rushing when they get a new book, habitually turn to the "Monthly Bastard Star" column to see which Republican unlucky guy is on the list this time......

Although Larry Flint has converted to God, God has not told him not to turn the mouths of Republican dignitaries into chrysanthemums.

What's more, Mrs. Stapleton is the older sister of the Democratic governor......

Clearly, Principal Lehman was out of luck......

Larry Flint also wrote a small article, in which he happily said that this issue was supposed to be a congressman who was unlucky, but President Lyman's move to take office caught his attention! "I was fascinated by Dr. Lehmann! It's like I'm attracted to Guccone......"

When Principal Lehmann saw this, his legs went limp......

He doesn't particularly care about the fact that the standard is like being p, the president of the university is a politician himself, and there is always a bit of cheekiness when he is a politician.

What alarmed him was the "confession" ......

Larry Flint is known for his neuropathy, and one of the ways in which this neuropathy develops is by sending countless private investigators to keep an eye on Guccone 24/7 all year round......

On more than one occasion, Larry has publicly referred to himself as an "observer of Guccone......

In other words, in his eyes, Guccone was no longer a living person, just a specimen thing......

Larry's private investigator doesn't even have anything to do with going through the trash cans in Gucho and estimates the frequency and quality of his X life based on the type and brand of TT.

A report was then formed, which was published in the magazine "Womanizer".

No normal person can stand this kind of treatment, although it is not illegal, but sooner or later it will drive people crazy.

It only then did Stanford realize that this young bastard had helped Larry Flint, a psychopath, win that heinous lawsuit......

By the way, Larry Flint also proudly said in an interview, "I've been looking for inspiration lately, and I'm going to write an ad for Dr. Ryman to write a Campari ad as well, so that maybe I have an elite brother and friend in addition to Larry Parry......"

Ahem, you must know that the last Campari advertisement he personally wrote made Larry Parry break the defense...... Straight into tears at the press conference, Larry Flint triumphantly boasted to Edward while watching TV: "I swear, this guy is a hypocrite, but this time he must be crying!" ”

"Why" Edward was curious at the time

"It's very simple, I, Hillbilly Larry, but I used the revolver or something to force countless people to cry in front of me, of course, most of them, and in turn, I cried countless times in front of others before I was 18, I know that!" After saying that, he laughed nervously.

In short, Larry Flint's crazy people all over the country know.

And everyone knows that once this bastard goes crazy, even the law can't stop him, because he has the money to hire a good lawyer to take advantage of the loopholes in the law, and the villain named Edward is not only familiar with the loopholes of the law, but also seems to be familiar with the three abusive methods.

Principal Lehmann thought twice and decided not to go out and curse people in person......

This immediately made many smart people aware of the shift in the direction of the wind.

Soon, John Kaplan and Paul Rust, two Stanford Law School professors, joined Edward's side, signing the ACLU's submission, making it a lot more impressive.

Edward, on the other hand, has publicly stated that the submission, or defense, is not a radical document per se, and that he begins with an ACLU's traditional requirement that the disciplinary party should give the accused party a "reasonable warning": that he cannot be punished for conduct unless there is an express prohibition and such a provision has been clearly informed of the defendant at the time he or she committed the act.

In other words, if Principal Lyman had threatened Franklin in person before: "Bastard, if you do this, I'll fire you", then it is reasonable and legal to fire Franklin now, but Principal Lyman is also a genuine doctor, how can he do such a thing?

In this way, he was exploited by Edward.

At the same time, Edward stressed the importance of such "reasonable warnings" in cases involving freedom of speech.

"When it comes to free speech, a person who thinks about every word has the right to use the pole of permissible speech! He must be clearly and precisely informed of where this line lies before he speaks. This line should not be drawn and found after the speech has been made. ”

The accusations against Franklin are then analyzed itemized in this article.

Of course, it was not on Franklin's side.

Edward of the ACLU is clearly negative about his attempt to stir up Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's speech, because he disagrees with Franklin's defense that he has the "right" to stop a "genuine war criminal" from giving a "war speech."

"If the Committee concludes that Professor Franklin was involved in a premeditated effort to thwart Ambassador Lodge's speech, i.e., not allowing the latter to speak at all, the ACLU's position is that he should be given some disciplinary action as a punishment. Because such an act is also contrary to the spirit of freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution. ”

Of course, Professor Franklin has the right to question the speaker, to boo, to express dissatisfaction, to disagree with the speaker. If the audience can agree with appreciative applause and cheers, then they must at the same time have an inalienable right to disagree"

"The general rule is that the speaker must be allowed to continue, but not to interrupt him or her repeatedly, but to continue after a short pause. Such a rule is certainly not the most agreeable and effective kind of speech, but the ACLU considers this balance of equality to be constitutional. ”
