McCullen v. Coakley (Buffer Zone in Massachusetts)
Decision of the First Circuit is reversed.
The Court holds that the Massachusetts law violates the First Amendment. This is a law that imposes a thirty-five-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics.
The Court is unanimous; Scalia concurs in judgment, joined by Kennedy and Thomas; Alito concurs in the judgment in his own opinion.
