The New York Times against
"New York Times v. Sullivan?"


January 15, 2014 --

LPR wonders how long until The New York Times runs an op-ed column that accuses Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. of promoting anti-government hate speech when, in his 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan opinion, he wrote "of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials."
