“Equality before the law and equality of political participation are fundamentals of a free and fair society. Given the power of those in positions of governmental and informational authority, however, these two fundamental equalities are among the most easily abused. The fact is that equality before the law and equal access to political processes, including access to information on which political decisions are made, are not naturally-occurring phenomena. Human beings make decisions in political and informational milieux that affect, for well or for ill, how equal we all are before the law and how equally we may participate in politics. Equality before the law and equality of political participation are fundamental, but they are far from guaranteed. To our minds, the best way to ensure equality before the law and equality of political participation is to place no restrictions on public speech.” (06/05/25)
