Respondent's Brief in Opposition (07/01/2003)
Description:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that a ban on peddling on the public sidewalks within 1,000 feet of the United Center, a Chicago sports stadium that is the home of the Chicago Blackhawks, violated the First Amendment as applied to a lone bookseller selling a book criticizing the Blackhawks' owner. The City sought cert in the Supreme Court. Alan Morrison and Bonnie Robin-Vergeer of Public Citizen were co-counsel for the respondent at the cert stage, and the Court denied cert.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
