Recent Supreme Court decisions have established second tier protection for commercial speech under the First Amendment by according it some, but not all, of the protections accorded ideological speech. The Court's arguments closely parallel John Staurt Mill's utilitarian arguments about liberty, liberty-limiting principles and trade inhis classic essay, On Liberty, and hence are subject to the same defects as any utilitarian analysis and justificaion of a right. Recent philosophical apologies for the Court's bifurcated approach to free speech are unpersuasive. Commercial speech protects fundamental itnerests. There are important connections between freedom of commercial speech and poltiical and personal autonomy. It is possible to extend full protection to commercial speech, while simultaneously minimizing its potential for abuse. Such considerations provide compelling arguemtns for tkaing the right to feedom of commercial communication seriously by according it full First Amendment protection and by restricitng it only when competing and over-riding rights claims, or weightier considerations of jsutice, can be adduced.
