Case: Miles v. City Council of Augusta, GA 551 F. Supp. 349 (1982) Facts: Plaintiffs Carl and Elaine Miles, owners and impresarios of “Blackie, The Talking Cat” brought a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the S.D. Georgia, challenging the constitutionality of the Augusta, GA, Business License Ordinance. They complained that the ordinance was inapplicable in their case “accepting contributions from pedestrian in the downtown Augusta area, who wanted to hear the cat speak “and that the ordinance violates the rights of speech. The Plaintiffs attacked the ordinance as being unconstitutional and overbroad in contravention of the due process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Firstly, the Katz two-prong precedent should be applied. Although Kyllo’s home passes the first test, demonstrating an expectation of privacy from the public naked eye in his activities, no measures were taken to conceal the waste heat emanating from his house. Continuing, the Katz case addresses the plaintiff’s protection from the uninvited ear, but not the “intruding eye.” However, the agents merely conducted observations of the exterior of the building, not even

Introduction Censorship is defined by Caso as the suppression of speech or any other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive politically incorrect as determined by the government or any other control body (3). Censorship may be justified from the conservative view whereby the free speech can be maltreated where it undermines the customary principles and communal solidity as withheld by a particular community.

In Walker III v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), attorney Scott Keller argues on behalf of the petitioner—Walker III (Walker)—and attorney Roger George represents the respondent—Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). The case concerns the constitutionality of a decision made by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board (the DMV Board) to reject the specialty license plate designs submitted by SCV and its members, and addresses possible violations of the First and Fourteenth Amendment. Four contentions surround the issue: the form of speech embodied by the specialty license plate program; State control over the content of specialty license plates; specialty license plates as a limited public forum; and, ultimately, the potential violation of the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of “viewpoint neutrality.” Justice Breyer delivers the opinion of the Court, affirming the plates as government speech. However, Justice Alito, joined by the Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Kennedy, Justice Alito dissents, concerned with. the Court’s broad interpretation of government speech.

In Walker III v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), the Supreme Court concerns itself with the constitutionality of a decision by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board (the DMV Board) to reject the specialty license plate designs submitted by SCV and its members, and the Court addresses possible violations of the First and Fourteenth Amendment. Attorney Scott Keller appears for Walker, the petitioner, and attorney Roger George represents the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), the respondent. Four issues permeate the case: specialty license plates’ relevant form of speech; State control over the content of specialty license plates; specialty license plates as a limited public forum; and, ultimately, the potential violation of both the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of “viewpoint neutrality.” In a divisive 5-4 decision, Justice Breyer delivers the Court’s opinion, while Justice Alito, joined by the Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Kennedy, dissents, concerned with the Court’s interpretation of government speech and the precedent it sets.

In “from Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District” by Justice Abe Fortas, the Supreme Court creates a strong argument against the disruption of the black armbands. When discussing this argument the author uses a strong expression of logical evidence and a great variety of diction. In “Supreme Court Landmark Series: Tinker v. Des Moines,” an interview with law professor Catherine Ross, more empirical evidence is presented and the wide range of diction and syntax is not presented as advanced as it was in the first article.

More specifically, this Note will examine the effect that the Supreme Court’s decision in Walker will have on future vanity plate cases, the distinctions between vanity and specialty license plates, and the free speech implications of Walker v. Tex. Div., Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc., which held that specialty license plates are considered government speech.

This Article will walk through the extraordinary City of New London ruled on an infamous eminent domain issue redefining “public use” as including government economic development measures. The City of New London approved a development project that would destroy hundreds of homes in the name of monetary gain and, what the state would call, economic development. The state interests are creating 1,000 plus jobs, increase tax revenue, and revitalizing the city’s economy as a response to the Federal Government’s condemnation of a Naval Undersea Warfare Center, which employed a majority of the city’s jobs. One resident filed suit claiming the city’s actions violated the Fifth Amendment’s scope “public use.” The city’s plans went beyond condemning property for a general use that was actually open to the public, but instead condemned private land to sell to another private individual developer. The Court ruled that because the city had a carefully drawn plan and the precedent defining “public use” is broad, the city may deprive one citizen of property rights for a more productive reason of another

Brittany Doucette L. Rabalais MC 3080 31 Jan 2018 CALM First Amendment When proposing a noise ordinance, one must look at the First Amendment to assure the ruling doesn’t conflict with the public’s constitutional rights. By identifying whether Councilman Prejean’s and Councilwoman Gautreaux’s proposals are content-based or content-neutral, a test can recognize whether the proposal intrudes on the First Amendment rights. Through this process, it’s proven that Councilman Prejean’s proposal needs to be reworked to better fit the constitutional rights and the peace of Justice city whereas Councilwoman Gautreaux’s proposal can be passed right away.

Introduction Dollree Mapp V. State of Ohio case was brought in front of the Supreme Court in March 1961. After this disturbance occurred with local police officers and in wrongful search of the Dollree home, it brought huge attention on how Americans were being violated of their privacy more often then one would imagine. Since Mapp vs. Ohio was a turning point in our nation’s history due to the facts in this particular case, the changes in our legal system by the forming of the exclusionary rule, and the decision made following the action of officers in the wrong, America is a better place.

Reed v. Town of Gilbert Name: Alyssa Hesketh Date: 8/25/16 Background Facts Gilbert has a code that prohibits displaying outdoor signs without a permit, but 23 categories of signs are exempt. The signs that are exempt are restricted to certain sizes and times that they can be displayed. Petitioners, Good News Community Church Clyde Reed, pastor, posted signs bearing the name of the church and locations and times of services early morning on a Saturday and did not remove them until midday the following Sunday.

Petitioners filed suit, arguing freedom of speech, but their motion was denied – the court declared that the code’s

According to the First Amendment law from United States Constitution, a prior restraint is classified as a federal action which forbids speech or other mediums of communication and expression prior to publication. Under the First Amendment, American citizens and the press are granted the liberty of free speech. However, under certain terms the officials will sanction this blockage. For over 70 years, corporations and public figures have often wished they could stop media and broadcast stations from publishing sensitive information, their ability to censor or take action against them is very limited. The U.S Supreme Court considers this suppressive tactic as “the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights”. Scholars

The “caveat” to the expressive use exception will have a substantial chilling effect on First Amendment protected speech by increasing the likelihood that publishers,

However, those who are against censorship on the Internet believe that it violates their right to free speech. Because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates radio and television, Internet users believe this is the only available forum that guarantees the open exchange of ideas. The freedom of expression is a right guaranteed to Americans and therefore should not be restricted by the government.
