Description

I. INTRODUCTION: CONTENT-BASED LAWS THAT PROMOTE FAVORED CONTENT Current free speech doctrine appears to rest on a mistake. Consider two hypothetical laws affecting American speech. First, cable carriers like Comcast and Time Warner offer video-on-demand TV service, through which customers can watch thousands of TV shows and movies "on demand," not on a predetermined schedule. (1) Suppose Congress determines that video-on-demand services could inform the public about key issues during an election campaign and passes a law requiring each local cable carrier to post, on demand, a ten minute campaign video from each candidate listed on the local ballot. Under current doctrine, this law--meant to promote informed democratic decision making--would likely be subject to the strictest constitutional scrutiny as "content-based" and be struck down as unconstitutional.
