HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017223.jpg

This document appears to be a page from a report or book (possibly by Alan Dershowitz, given the context and style, though not explicitly named) submitted to the House Oversight Committee. It details an incident where the Muslim Student Union disrupted a speech by Ambassador Oren, leading to criminal charges by the District Attorney. The author criticizes local ACLU leaders for defending the disruptors and framing the censorship as a peaceful protest, contrasting this with the author's own long history of supporting the ACLU and free speech.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017222.jpg

This document discusses the distinction between the First Amendment right to heckle a speaker versus silencing them entirely, referencing the Bruce Franklin case involving Henry Cabot Lodge at Stanford in 1971. It contrasts the ACLU's past defense of limited disruption with a later refusal by the Southern California branch to apply the same principles during a disruption of Michael Oren's speech at the University of California at Irvine.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017220.jpg

This document appears to be page 133 of a manuscript or memoir (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of the Bruce Franklin case) produced to the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses First Amendment principles, specifically the 'violence veto,' and recounts the narrator's legal representation of Stanford Professor Bruce Franklin in 1970. It details Franklin's speeches inciting students to shut down the Stanford Computation Center, the subsequent police intervention, and Franklin's eventual firing by University President Lyman.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017208.jpg

This document appears to be a page from a memoir or legal narrative, likely by Alan Dershowitz (referenced in the footnote), produced during House Oversight proceedings. The text recounts the author's legal work during the Vietnam War era, specifically his involvement in high-profile First Amendment and anti-war protest cases, including the defense of the Chicago 7 lawyer William Kunstler, Harvard students, and Stanford professor Bruce Franklin. It details the author's perspective on the conflict between national security and civil liberties during that period.
