言论自由是美国宪法中最引人注目并受称颂的内容之一。它使我们以民族的概念自我认识。虽该原则起源于宪法条文本身,但具备目前这种形态,形成当今之磅礴气势,在我看来却是最高法院在近半个世纪中判决培育的结果。正是这些判决确立了哈利·卡尔文的所谓“言论自由传统”。 Freedom of expression is one of the most compelling and commendable parts of the United States Constitution. It allows us to self-understand the concept of nation. Although this principle originated from the constitutional provisions itself, having the current form and forming the momentum of today’s magnificence is, in my opinion, the result of a Supreme Court ruled in nearly half a century of cultivation. It is these judgments that set the so-called “free speech tradition” of Harry Calvin.
