纽约州极左反枪官员们为了限制NRA在纽约的活动,采取了场外招,通过官员发信函用隐晦的言辞威胁那些和NRA做生意的银行保险公司,如果他们不中断和NRA的生意就会有不利结果。这种侵犯1A权利的做法是如此恶劣,以至于连ACLU在此案都站在了NRA这边。
现在高院判决下来,9:0一致裁决纽约州的盘外招属于违宪行为。左派法官Sotomayor 执笔写的判词,强调了政府不能用任何直接间接手段压制1A权利。
“The critical takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or (as alleged here) through private intermediaries” Sotomayor wrote.
“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors” Sotomayor wrote.
