Supreme Court Smacks Down Petty Tyrant With A Major First Amendment Victory

Episode # 92
Today on Legalese we have a decision in the NRA v. Vullo case. It is a major victory for the First Amendment and gun rights.

The Supreme Court on Thursday, May 30, 2024 reinstated a lawsuit by the National Rifle Association, alleging that a New York official violated the group’s First Amendment rights when she urged banks and insurance companies not to do business with them.

In a unanimous decision by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the justices agreed that the NRA had made their case that Maria Vullo, then the head of New York’s Department of Financial Services, had gone too far in her efforts to get companies and banks to cut ties with the NRA, crossing over the line from efforts to persuade the companies and banks – which would be permitted – to attempts to coerce them, which are not.
