 CFAC: California First Amendment Coalition
Simon and Schuster filed a federal suit, seeking a declaration, under 42 United States Code section 1983, that the New York law was facially invalid under the First Amendment.
Simon and Schuster illustrated the overbreadth of the New York statute by observing that it reached even incidental and tangential mention of past crimes, but nothing in Simon and Schuster suggests the New York law could have cured its overinclusive effect simply by providing an exemption for tangential or incidental references.
On the other hand, Simon and Schuster observed statutes may be content neutral, and thus avoid strict scrutiny, where they are intended to serve purposes unrelated to the content of the regulated speech, notwithstanding their incidental effects on some speakers or messages but not others.
