Supreme Court Unanimously Backs NRA in Free Speech Case Against New York
TL;DR
The Supreme Court ruled that the NRA can pursue a claim that a New York state official's efforts to encourage companies to sever ties with the gun rights group constituted unlawful coercion, potentially violating the NRA's First Amendment rights. The case will return to lower courts where the official can argue for qualified immunity.
