 Who is Owen Fiss and what did he do?
Shut Up, He Explained Owen Fiss is a professor at the Yale Law School and a highly regarded scholar of constitutional law. But he has, instead, chosen to address the issue as an advocate for specific groups he regards as politically disadvantaged--women, gays, victims of racial-hate speech, the poor (or, at least, the not-rich), and people who are critical of market capitalism--and to design a constitutional theory that will enable those groups to enlist the state in efforts either to suppress speech they dislike or to subsidize speech they do like, without running afoul of the First Amendment. Fiss does not avoid it. Fiss' analyses of specific cases are presented against a lightly sketched historical argument.
