Will First Amendment Analysis Be Reshaped By the Roberts Court?

The First  Amendment Center website features an essay by David L. Hudson, Jr. in which he examines whether the Roberts Court will jettison several much criticized First Amendment precedents from the Burger Court era. The rejection of the doctrinal frameworks presented in these cases, Lemon, Central Hudson, and Miller, would mark a siginificant re-orientation of the analysis of Establishment Clause, commercial speech and obscenity problems.
