NCLA Asks SCOTUS to Hear Securities Law Appeal with Major 1st Amendment
Implications

\\n

NCLA has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in Lemelson, et al. v. SEC, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case that poses an important First Amendment issue. May the SEC punish commentary about publicly traded corporations that contains a few purported misstatements or omissions when a jury has cleared the accused of all fraud and deception charges? Surprisingly perhaps, the Supreme Court has never answered this question. So, for now, the SEC punishes such speech freely.
