CBLDF Claims Big Win in Arkansas

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF), a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring Free Speech rights for those operating within the North American comics industry, is claiming a victory in an Arkansas ruling about display law. Here's the heart of the press release

"Based on the response from the Supreme Court, the judge found the display provisions 'facially unconstitutional under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution because such provisions are overbroad and impose unconstitutional prior restraint on the availability and display of constitutionally protected, non-obscene materials to both adults and older minors.'"

The response cited refers to an earlier set of instructions that set the stage for this ruling. This seems on first glance a much cleaner win than a recent Michigan ruling that seemed to bring encouraging news to the CBLDF through standards set out in the decision as opposed to the decision itself.
