“Balanced’ is a code for ‘denied’: a right to free speech that must be ‘balanced’ against so exhaustive a list of other supposed values means a right that can be exercised only when those in power judge that the speech in question is innocuous to them.” Ronald Dworkin, (1931- 2013) [Jewish-American] philosopher, professor, scholar of United States constitutional law and jurisprudence.
