Hill v. Colorado — Kennedy, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Kennedy dissents, arguing the Colorado statute restricting approaches to health care facilities violates the First Amendment. He contends the law is content-based and viewpoint-based because it targets protest, education, or counseling, effectively suppressing anti-abortion speech. He also finds it vague, overbroad, and not narrowly tailored under Ward. Justice Scalia, dissenting, agrees the statute is content-based and criticizes the Court's reliance on a "right to be let alone."
