Knox v. Pennsylvania
United States Supreme Court; Case No. 18-949
Prior Decision
Decision below 190 A.3d 1146 (Pa. Aug. 21, 2018)
Argument(s)
The decision below allows the government to criminalize speech that is objectively non-threatening. The decision below contravenes this Court’s case law and First Amendment principles. The existing state of the law paired with the realities of our criminal justice system risks suppressing speech.
