Minnesota Majority v. Mansky

Petition for certiorari denied on December 16, 2013

Docket No.	Op. Below	Argument	Opinion	Vote	Author	Term
13-185	8th Cir.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	OT 2013

Issue: Whether a state statute prohibiting political speech including the banning of passive political statements written on clothing (i.e., "Liberty," "Don"t Tread on Me," "Freedom," depiction of U.S. Flag) is facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment, regardless of whether a polling place is considered a nonpublic forum, because no conceivable governmental interest could justify such an absolute prohibition on the clothing people can wear to vote.
