Jonathan Zimmerman has noticed that progressives are starting to cringe at the idea of robust free speech.  He has this to say about that cringing at the Wall Street Journal:

When speech can be suppressed, the people with the least power are likely to lose the most. That’s why every great tribune of social justice in American history—including Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. —was also a zealous advocate for free speech. Without it, they couldn’t critique the indignities and oppression that they suffered.
