Free Speech and the Supreme Court Select Decisions From 2011

This book explores select decisions from the Supreme Court relative to free speech. Topics discussed in this compilation include the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) and its protests of military funerals. Also discussed is the constitutionality of restrictions on the use of health data for commercial purposes. Companies that collect, analyse, and sell this data have challenged the law, claiming that they were unconstitutionally restricted from their free speech rights under the First Amendment. The case of Sorrell v. IMS Health, Inc. is analysed as well.
