Andrew McCarthy on Fenton's Right

Andrew C. McCarthy, like Chris Christie, is a former federal prosecutor. McCarthy, however, supports Fenton's right to free speech. Christie, sadly, is more inline with the Obama administration.

All the recent talk of Koran burning spurred Justice Stephen Breyer to suggest that free expression may need an Islam exemption. That prompted justifiable outrage, but it should have surprised no one. The Obama administration has already joined the Organization of the Islamic Conference in a UN resolution designed to make blasphemy against Islam illegal. And the president’s latest appointee, Justice Elena Kagan, is a sharia enthusiast who argues that government may curb free expression whenever it decides the “value” of speech is outweighed by other “societal costs” — which is to say, when doing so elevates progressive pieties.
