On the latest episode of Repeating History, we welcome Dr. Tom Keck,  Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics at Syracuse University.

The conversation touches in various facets of  Professor Keck’s upcoming book on free speech jurisprudence, the courts,  and democratic backsliding amidst the retreat of democratic norms and government here in the US and around the world. What role should courts play in the suppression and/or promotion of free speech that may actually be damaging to the maintenance of democratic governing structures, and the paradox of tolerance.
