Wagner And Winick On The Law

The government has historically used the term terrorism as a general description for a range of violent acts, including those by right-wing extremists, as well as environmental, anti-abortion and far-left groups. But the specific criminal charge is never domestic terrorism. The political debate appears to be shifting towards calling for far-right extremism to be identified as terrorism. But that's almost entirely a political discussion, not a legal one. The first amendment provides great latitude for hateful speech, but it does not protect hateful violence. Join co-hosts Mitchel Winick and Stephen Wagner to discuss the legal definitions that frame the distinctions between permitted speech and behavior and illegal speech and behavior.
