Supreme Court of the United States

Los Angeles Police Department v. United Reporting Publishing Corp. — Ginsburg, J., concurring

January 12, 2000528 U.S. 32

Summary

Justice Ginsburg, joined by Justices O'Connor, Souter, and Breyer, concurs that California Government Code §6254(f)(3) is a restriction on access to government information, not on protected speech, and therefore the Ninth Circuit’s judgment is reversed. The opinion is joined by a dissent from Justice Stevens (joined by Kennedy) and a concurrence from Justice Scalia (joined by Thomas).
