Summary:

This book provides an overview of the major exceptions to the First Amendment, of the ways that the Supreme Court has interpreted the guarantee of freedom of speech and press to provide no protection or only limited protection for some types of speech. For example, the Court has decided that the First Amendment provides no protection for obscenity, child pornography, speech broadcast on radio and television, commercial speech, defamation (libel and slander) and speech that may be harmful to children.
