Here is the order: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-1194_08l1.pdf
“It is well established that, as a general rule, the Gov-ernment “may not suppress lawful speech as the means to suppress unlawful speech.” Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coali-tion, 535 U. S., at 255”
hopefully, this statement that was in the opinion can be used where states created laws requiring SO to provide user names, etc… as anonymous free speech is protected.
Yup indeed.
1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections.
“Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation at the hands of an intolerant society.”
Just finished a study of the Constitution. Well said!
I was not aware of this case. Thank you.
The politicians of Florida need to be made aware of this case before this next legislation session.
They need to be educated and reminded of what the law ACTUALLY says before they sit down and try to destroy more of our lives.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Let it begin… hopefully the rest of the cases Supreme court have faces the same results. From registry to residence restrictions. Let it all crumble.
The ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ is not a locomotive…thank God! Common sense and reality is finally entering the picture.
FANTASTIC !!!!
Next up: Ex Post Facto violation of the states via SORNA aka Ada, Walsh Act.
Wall are built one brick at a time and they come down the same way.
Of course with every “brick” removed the wall becomes weaker and weaker.
I think that now that the general public has the concept of “fake news” that it is easier for the truth to be seen. Now what we need to do is to continue the education and keep removing those bricks until the wall is gone or at least lowered to allow some of us to climb over it!
Awesome!! A win in the supreme court for RSO.. The wall is finally begins to crumble!
Does this mean they can’t ban the internet?
It means they can’t ban Social Media.
NOTE: ALL THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROBATION. PROBATION CAN STILL BAN SOCIAL MEDIA, THE INTERNET, ETC.
