Description

Mrs. Pilpel declares herself as "strongly prejudiced in favor of the First

Amendment... not to the exclusion of all others, but ahead of all others, because as long as you have freedom of speech and of the press there is an avenue of protest." Miss Jordan replies, "I'd like to backtrack, if I may, to focus upon your avowed commitment, whole-hearted commitment, somewhat prejudicial commitment to the First Amendment as against other rights.... When we're talking about a free society and we're talking about freedom of expression, we're not talking about freedom of expression that is equally available to all people in this country, as you know. And when we're especially talking about groups such as women in this country and the minority people in this country, we're talking about people who have never had the kind of freedom of expression that has been available to the white male ..." HP: "I am completely in agreement with you that women and minorities--" WFB: "God, the women I know aren't oppressed as regards their freedom of expression."
