California Supreme Court
International Society for Krishna Consciousness of California, Inc., Plaintiffs and Respo — Kennard, J…
March 25, 201048 Cal. 4th 446
Summary
Justice Kennard's concurrence joins the court's conclusion that the airport solicitation ordinance is valid, but only because precedent requires treating the solicitation restriction as a content-neutral time, place, and manner regulation. She would additionally answer the Ninth Circuit's certified question by holding that the publicly accessible, presecurity areas of Los Angeles International Airport are public forums under the California Constitution because they resemble railway stations and shopping malls. Justice Chin, joined by Justices Baxter and Corrigan, concurred in the result but would hold that the airport is not a public forum and that its speech restrictions need only be reasonable and viewpoint neutral.
