Abstract

This study seeks to reveal whether certain patterns can be traced in the current US Supreme Court decisions pertaining to First Amendment protection of speech. It reviews how the Roberts Court applied the philosophy of effective self-governance and its principles in its speech-related decisions and looks at what opinions were provided by the majority, and concurring and dissenting Justices. The study shows that the Roberts Court seems to be especially prone to arguing its holdings in terms of political speech values and especially protective of political speech as applied to the cases concerning campaign funding.

美国最高法院法官意见中的言论自由:罗伯茨法院对政治言论的保护

这项研究试图揭示是否某些模式可以追溯到当前美国最高法院有关第一修正案保护言论的决定。它回顾了罗伯茨最高法院如何在其与言论有关的判决中应用有效自治的哲学及其原则，并考察了多数法官、赞成和反对法官提供了哪些意见。研究表明，罗伯茨法院似乎特别倾向于在涉及竞选资金的案件中，从政治言论价值的角度来论证其判决，特别是保护政治言论。
