How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that an assertion of law constitutes a “holding” if it is “essential to the judgment in [the] case”
• concluding plaintiffs challenging a statute that arguably compelled their speech were subject to a credible threat of enforcement where state officials had “already pursued a successful enforcement action” against similar entities
• finding law that would require videographers to make same-sex wedding videos regulates speech and is subject to strict scrutiny
• wedding videographers’ videos were expressive conduct, insofar as they were “not just be simple recordings, the product of planting a video camera at the end of the aisle and pressing record”
• “In an as-applied challenge . . . , the focus of the strict-scrutiny test is on the actual speech being regulated, rather than how the law might affect others who are not before the court.”
