Court Holds Colorado Law Violates First Amendment
In a concurrence joined by Justice Sotomayor in today's Chiles v. Salazar, Justice Kagan holds that Colorado's law banning talk therapy for minors violates the First Amendment because it regulates speech based on viewpoint. She notes that content-based but viewpoint-neutral health-care regulations would present a different, more complex question and cites Reed v. Town of Gilbert for strict-scrutiny principles.
Scoring Rationale
Official Supreme Court concurrence is novel, broad in scope, and highly credible; it clarifies strict-scrutiny doctrine for viewpoint-based speech restrictions. Score reduced for limited direct relevance to data-science audiences, but timeliness and authority raise overall impact.
