Sometimes an Argument is Really an Argument
This is no less true of judges than other lawyers.Free-speech law has developed a lot in 30 years; most of that change has been in the last decade. Occasionally we’ll get an oral argument in which one of the judges knows has read Alvarez, Stevens, Reed, Brown, and some of the other post-2009 Supreme Court free-speech cases, and it’s a real joy.
This is not one of those cases. Here the State in its brief cited no Supreme Court more recent than 1989.
Imagine the discussion we could have had if the judges had read some Supreme Court First Amendment cases since law school!
