You're talking about something different here. There's consensus about what people can do as defined by the law. The quote is about a consensus about what it's ok to say. The article is about free speech. The author is espousing that there will be a consensus about what people should be allowed to say. If there is a consensus about what people can say, then speech is that much less free because the majority is impinging on the minority who might choose to say it. If no one chose to say it, no such consensus would be necessary.Then man will never fly or slaves - be free. Yet here we are.
