The US Supreme Court will hear a case challenging New York's financial "blacklisting" of the NRA over First Amendment concerns.
The US Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case brought by the NRA, challenging New York's financial "blacklisting" of the organization. The case, National Rifle Association of America v. Vullo, questions whether a government regulator threatening adverse actions against entities that do business with a controversial speaker due to the government's hostility towards the speaker's viewpoint violates the First Amendment. The NRA claims that former New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria T. Vullo, acting under former Governor Andrew Cuomo's orders, blacklisted the NRA, forcing banks and insurers to cut ties with the group.
