Supreme Court of the United States

Borgner v. Florida Board of Dentistry — Thomas, J., dissenting

December 9, 2002537 U.S. 1080

Summary

Justice Thomas dissents from the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari, arguing that the case presents a critical opportunity to clarify First Amendment commercial speech standards and state-mandated disclaimers. He questions whether the evidence supporting the regulation satisfies the Central Hudson test and whether the specific disclaimer requirement is more extensive than necessary.
