Get covered today. The Trump Administration<\/a> is supporting the law or a lawsuit rather against uc berkeley that centers on free speech. The Justice Department<\/a> filed the statement supporting the suit that was filed last april. After speech by conservative ann coulter was canceled, the republicans and you and Americas Foundation<\/a> accused the school of a double standard that restrict speakers with a conservative viewpoint. After protests turn violent the School Canceled<\/a> other speakers over security concerns. The schools that it does not discriminate against speakers and the allegations in the suit are unfounded. Here with me to discuss how the move can be interpreted im joined by david levine. Thank you for joining us. The question is, when the protest turned violent the school said the venue that ann coulter wanted to use was not secure. Same with the conservative office author. Which argument is stronger . The university has got some pretty strong arguments. The first time this case started the trial judge dismissed the lawsuit. She gave the plaintiffs chance to come back because what has happened is the university has tried to make clearer it standards and guidelines because the university with say they are worried about being viewpoint neutral and yet keep everybody safe. The core of this lawsuit is to say there is to much discretion on the part that is left in the rules so that if he viewpoint was unpopular in the College Republican<\/a> say they are unpopular in berkeley, that the administration could use these rules to stifle unpopular speech. We have three conservatives here in they are staunch conservatives, very outspoken. When you make the rule like this do not run the risk of being looked at as though your stopping free speech . There supposed to be content neutral. Things that you have to provide ample notice to the Campus Security<\/a> if youre going to of a large event. I think right now the rules say you expect more than 200 people. That is not regarding what is the basis of the contents. If you bring it wellknown person, you know you will get a big crowd the Campus Police<\/a> have to be ready. The university would argue thats. The College Republican<\/a>s would say, this is all subterfuge and they are not applying the rules in an evenhanded way. How can the law differentiate . They have to look how they make the rules . Import how they went into them but also what the rules are. University that provides the public forum for debate is open to speech has to have content neutral rules. We call it, time, place and manner. It is legitimate to impose restriction but has to be done evenly and it cannot be a subterfuge to prevent certain kinds of speech from being presented. We are talking about this because the department of justice, uc berkeley asked for this to be dismissed and the department of justice yesterday issued his statement in support of it. What is their interest . Their interest is to make, it is stated as their interest in the constitution. This is a political move. There is no reason for the attorney general to step in at this point except to making political point. The Justice Department<\/a> is entitled to come into cases where they see an interest but it is very unusual to come in at the trial court level. It is do not the Supreme Court<\/a> level. If you read the document that the Justice Department<\/a> filed, it is about this specific case. It is not but the general principal. To me looks highly political. It is filled with references to free speech suppression. Thank you for giving us an inside look at what we could be seeing from the statement from the department of justice and uc berkeley.
