“The Constitution’s failure to protect free speech at a seemingly basic level points to a major defect in its design. While it may be praiseworthy in forcefully demanding that the government it authorizes respect the rights of its citizens, it has not provided the real structural support to ensure that those demands are met. Anyone seriously interested in protecting free speech must push for a very radical ‘constitutional amendment.’ We should work not just to change the words of the document we call ‘the Constitution,’ but instead amend our legal system by completely changing the way it’s constituted.”
