He thinks that the current formulation, based on Justice Holmes’ conception of free speech as a marketplace “disserves the aspirations of those who wrote America’s founding document.” The purpose of this reformulation would be to “reinvigorate processes of democratic deliberation, by ensuring greater attention to public issues and greater diversity of views.” He is concerned by the present “situation in which like-minded people speak or listen mostly to one another,” and thinks that in “light of astonishing economic and technological changes, we must doubt whether, as interpreted, the constitutional guarantee of free speech is adequately serving democratic goals.” He proposes a “New Deal for speech [that] would draw on Justice Brandeis’ insistence on the role of free speech in promoting political deliberation and citizenship.” newsrealblog.com: http://newsrealblog.com/2009/05/04/stopping-the-radical-cass-sunstein/ [...] [...] 1st Amendment In his book Democracy and the Problem of Free Speech Sunstein says there is a need to reformulate First Amendment law.

Sunstein is center-center-left; he was co-chair of the American Enterprise Institute Center for Regulatory and Market Studies. He is keenly aware of the dangers of over-regulation. This is a legal scholar who wrote an op-ed piece in the WSJ <em>supporting</em> the nomination of John Roberts. There is plenty to disagree with without calling him a radical. The term should be reserved for those who deserve it...otherwise it's just crying wolf. This is misleading.
