Join Texas FedSoc for a debate with Professor Carson Holloway on his new book, No Liberty to Libel: The Constitutional Case Against New York Times v. Sullivan. Holloway argues that the Supreme Court’s actual-malice standard lacks a sound basis in the original meaning of the First Amendment and the Anglo-American tradition of defamation law. The discussion will examine whether Sullivan’s protections for the press and public figures remain constitutionally justified and how the law should balance free speech against the right to protect one’s reputation.
