Today many western democracies limit freedom of expression
where minorities of varying natures targeted by hatred. European Court of Human
Rights sets a rather strict standard in which hate speech may not even qualify
for a proportionality analysis under Article 17. Difference between the USA and
rest of the world diminishes effectiveness of legal framework combating the
hate speech. Most of the expression that would require legal sanctions in many
western democracies are shielded by the freedom of expression in the USA. This
outliner position of the US Supreme Court case law calls for an analysis. The
most prominent and repeating argument against limitation of hate speech stems
from the principle that government cannot remove certain ideas or viewpoints
from the marketplace of ideas. Although the Supreme Court accepts that a few
groups of well defined speech categories enjoy lesser protection, hate speech
does not belong to any of them. According to the Supreme Court a clear and
present danger shall be evident for speech to be restricted and the limitation
must not be vague or over reaching. This paper analyzes milestone decisions of
the Supreme Court regarding hate speech.
