“Does Money Talk in the Marketplace of Ideas?”

Stanley Fish’s “Opinionator” column for NYTimes.com begins: “Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo once said that ‘metaphors in law are to be narrowly watched, for starting as devices to liberate thought, they end often by enslaving it.’ Cardozo’s warning would seem to have been heeded by a group of A-list first amendment scholars who met on March 27 at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice to consider the Court’s recent campaign-funding decision, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.” You can find a transcript of the Brennan Center event here.
