Good afternoon. Congratulations it is a big event to publish a book it is a big deal so congratulations. I really love to read this said i thought we would talk about what drew you to the project about Oliver Wendell holmes and the implication for First Amendment issues today then we will throw out there but i was hoping to begin you could read one page from the book, page member for this is actually not thomass writings but it helps to capture very well what he was struggling with what is so great about this book. This is from holmes dissenting opinion in the 1919 case abrams vs. United states. The first case that holmes defends the importance of free speech and that is a turning point in our history of the First Amendment. Incredibly powerful dissent especially the last paragraph that he tries to explain in a philosophical way why it is important why we have a freespeech in did begins in the strange and income grew way as if he makes the case against freespeech, not for its.
