Petition for Writ of Certiorari, Bellecourt, et al., v. City of Cleveland, 544 U.S. 1033, 125 S. Ct. 2271 (2005)

    Research output: Other contribution

    Abstract

    Deciding an important question of Federal Free Speech law, the Ohio Supreme Court has recognized a fire safety justification so easy to invoke that it may be used to punish virtually every instance of flag burning and effigy burning - thereby undercutting this Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson , and creating a question of first impression that requires this Court's review and correction.
