FIRE has billed itself as a nonpartisan organization that fights speech restrictions that are seen as left-wing, right-wing, and no-wing. Some have, however, argued that FIRE mostly fights left-wing restrictions (and thus mostly protects right-wing speakers), and goes after only a few right-wing restrictions as supposed "tokens" to hide its true nature.

Pivotal rulings by John Marshall built a durable wall against presidential defiance.
