Justice Samuel Alito Tells Students to Defend Freedom of Speech and Religious Liberty

In a commencement speech to students at Franciscan University, a Catholic college based in Ohio, Justice Samuel Alito urged them to defend religious liberty and free speech.

“The framers foresaw that troublous times would arise when rulers and people would become restive and the principles of constitutional liberty would be in peril unless established by irreparable law,” Alito said.

“The Constitution of the United States applies to all classes of men at all times and under all circumstances,” he added.
