Supreme Court of the United States

Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. v. Aguilar — Thomas, J., dissenting

May 22, 2000529 U.S. 1138

Summary

Justice Thomas dissents from the denial of certiorari, arguing the California Supreme Court's affirmance of an injunction against workplace harassment speech violated the First Amendment. He contends the injunction is an invalid prior restraint that is not narrowly tailored, as it prohibits fully protected speech and less severe remedies such as money damages were available to regulate future conduct.
