How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that judicial restraint is appropriate in applying the NTEU test to the government’s interest in protecting against corruption, which due to “its amorphous nature, is particularly hard to quantify and prove”
• striking down a rule that banned police officers from contributing to a political action committee because the government had failed to “cite a single explanation as to how the contribution ban has directly mitigated its concerns” regarding corruption
• “Because the City does not enforce the Charter ban against the balance of its employees, it must explain why the ban has special significance against the police.”
