21-388 7th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2021

Issue: Whether the government’s selective exclusion of members of the press from the incoming governor's official press conferences and briefings implicates the equal treatment guarantee of the First Amendment’s press clause, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 1st, 2nd and District of Columbia Circuits have held, or instead should be analyzed under the speech clause’s forum analysis, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for 7th Circuit below and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit have held.
