Supreme Court of the United States

Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, Inc. — Thomas, J., Concurring

June 29, 2020140 S. Ct. 2082

Summary

Justice Thomas concurs with the Court’s judgment that the Leadership Act’s Policy Requirement does not violate the First Amendment when applied to respondents’ foreign affiliates. He argues the requirement does not compel speech because it imposes no obligation to say anything. He also reiterates his disagreement with the prior decision in Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, Inc.
