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.
We have been closely following this case on my channel over the last year as part of my annual Supreme Court Roundup.
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 it in the wake of the 2018 shooting at a Florida high school.
In a unanimous decision by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the justices agreed that the NRA had made out a 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.
