The pieces are by David Cole (Georgetown University Law Center), Richard A. Epstein, (University of Chicago Law School) and Stephen I. Vladeck (American University Washington College of Law). Cole sets the stage by stating that "[f]or the first time ever, the Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment permits the criminalization of pure speech advocating lawful, nonviolent activity."
