6. The Supreme Court June 27, 1988 Opinion Delivered by Justice O’Connor Opinion: Ordinance still allows for other means of communications Case did serve a significant government interest Determined what a “home” is Decision Contrary judgement of the Court of Appeals was reversed baylor.edu/mediacommunications/news.php?a ction=story&story=114026

7. Dissenting Opinions Justice Brennman The ordinance “over did it” Picketing could have been managed differently No evidence that supports targeting Justice Stevens Too broad because it eliminates all picketing Would restrict a fifth grader from carrying a poster in a residence for a period of time displaying a friendly message to its intended audience

Political Impact Focuses on the freedoms given to us by the First Amendment Americans do have the right to freedom of speech and assembly, however, There are different types of forums to which the freedom applies Public forum Public forum designated by the government Nonpublic forum People cannot intrude on other’s rights Role of the government is to protect the people
