posner -- speak offering the university of chicago law professor eric posner -- has become a proponent of campus free speech restrictions. according to professor posner, today's college students are too immature. free speech can still occur offcampus if i can't occur on campus. and in a bit of the posner family's trademark law and economics analysis, students can take into account an institution's free speech availability in deciding where to go to college if that is important to that student. now, as the father of a 20-year-old son myself, i think that professor posner overstates the immaturity problem. he also, i believe, does not have a firm grasp on how competitive today's college admissions process is. in my experience, evaluating a school's free speech rating and free speech policies tends to be very low on the list of things that people consider in decide where they wish to go to school. and one of the professor posner's other suggestions is that you can go to a state university or public college as opposed to a private college if free speech really matters to you. but that does

the parents of jesse lewis and noah posner want $5.5 million to drop the wrongful death suit. the families claim a lack of security at the elementary school allowed the gunman to adults. leon: developing now, authorities in france are questioning several people after a series of raids in a paris suburb. the raids followed the fatal stabbing of a police officer and his girlfriend by self-identified isis sympathizer. police stormed the family home saving the 3-year-old son and killing the attacker. the attack comes as france host the month-long euro 2016 soccer championships. alison: it was an eight-hour manhunt, but pennsylvania state police finally arrested a man accused of killing three other men in west virginia. police say 32-year-old eric chute killed the men yesterday near a state park. he wasn't tracked down until early this morning. police believe the murder was over an apparent property dispute. leon: breaking news out of fairfax county where jurors have just convicted andrew schmuhl. he was accused of holding his wife's former boss and that man's wife hostage in their

. >> this is noah posner. he was 6 years old and he died at sandy hook elementary school.re standing here for all the victims in baltimore and prince george's county where i live it's time for us to do something and we're tired of these moments of silence that don't lead to action. >> what do you say to someone who says in the specific case of sandy hook and noah pozner and children that were slaughtered in that elementary school that the legislation you're proposing today would not have stopped that? >> the point is that we have to start someplace. we have to start someplace to reduce gun violence and the idea that we should do nothing because we can't stop every incidents of gun violence is lewd kruludicrous and today we' calling on the house leadership to use the rules and bring two bills to the floor that are low hanging to expand background checks so we get 100% of them and to just say if you're on the terrorist watch list if you can't fly you can't buy a gun. let's start there. i believe we have to start somewhere. i mean in maryland last year more than 300 people lo

now as the father of a 20-year-old son myself, i think are faster posner overstates the problem.e he also i believe does not have a current grasp on how competitive today's college admissions process is. in my experience, evaluating his school's free-speech rating and free-speech policies tends to be very low on the list of things people consider in deciding where they wish to go to school. and one of professor posner's other suggestions is that you can go to a state university or public college as opposed to a private college if free speech really matters to you but that doesn't seem to necessarily be the answer because if you look at the prior organization statistics public institutions aren't much better at recognizing free-speech rights that are private institutions. it's interesting to note that over 150 years ago british political philosopher john stuart mill in his statement titled on liberty offered for reasons why one should favor robust free-speech rights and those for reasons resonate as much to me today as i hope they resonate to people at the time the essay was writt

vice president posner in office was still at the capitol building, but unlike his predecessors, nixonpent almost no time residing over the senate. he spent his time going to meetings with the executive branch, meeting with president eisenhower, taking foreign missions for the president. eisenhower would often go for a month or two months doing lyrical work, having executive ranch commissions and so forth. successors, lyndon johnson, spiro agnew, gerald ford and nelson rockefeller, essentially followed the nixon model. their office moved into the executive office building. they took on more functions in the executive ranch, sharing commission, making trips for the presidency, political work. other than vice president agnew, thee people were among leading political figures of their political generation. the vice presidency became a better springboard and became attractive to able people for that reason. nixon and hubert humphrey were nominated to seek a presidency and spiro agnew was the front runner for 1976 until he had to resign from office. but even so, with this growth from nixon t

what he says today may not necessarily be the third week of october posner's in.- the third .eek of october up message trump will use his megaphone and his earned media, which can equal those of that, and i think we will be in a different place. it looks to me like he is beginning to recognize that you cannot stay in this position. he is losing republicans, even though they feel like they have to support him, or else hillary clinton will be president of the united states. they are losing their vocal support at this point. francine: it is unclear to me what track he needs to get back on. living here in london, you see a who keeps candidate flip-flopping. we are not even sure exactly what he believes in. i mean by "back on track," is that he needs to focus on jobs, the economy, and national security. economy -- the weak jobs report came out on friday, he did a good job. he said hillary clinton be more of the same. he needs to stay on message. he allows himself to get off track and get in high profile, ettas or fights that take him off message. it creates trump tv 20

types of speech in either direction is just wrong to do and, again, perhaps this is to professor posner's credit, people who direct all this attention to themselves you have to have a lot of self-confidence and a lot of certainty in what you wish to accomplish at one of those -- at very young ages and i remember being in philadelphia in the early to mid-1990s. there was an episode a university of pennsylvania student of israeli origin was studying in his dorm room one night and there was a loud group of female students walk iing by it making a lot of noise. he was upset and yelled out an epithet towards them that brought him up on charges of racial incense sift. the ep them was essentially calling them water buffalo. they were arguing that water buffalo are from asia so that's not even a racist epithet. not that we should always believe wikipedia but it says it's true. so penn had brought the student up on charges and he had to hire lawyers and he refused to consent to having a mark on his record that ultimately would be removed after a period of time. and ultimately the charges were dism

. -- justice breyer: judge posner then seems to be correct where he says he could find in the entire nation, in his opinion, only one arguable example of such a thing, and he's not certain that even that one is correct. so what is the benefit to the woman of a procedure that is going to cure a problem of which there is not one single instance in the nation, though perhaps there is one, but not in texas.
