- READ THE COURT'S DECISION HERE:
In his 29-page decision, Judge Cohen identified extensive constitutional problems with Georgia's anti-BDS law.
- He held that the anti-BDS law "prohibits inherently expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment," which "burdens Martin's right to free speech."
- The court relied heavily onNAACP v. Claiborne,the Supreme Court's landmark decision protecting the right to boycott.
