Russel Firsby v Sandra shultz 1988
356: protection of privacy in the home
Facts:
Sandra Shultz and Robert Braun who were against abortion picketed outside of the home (public street) of a doc who preformed abortions. She was protesting along with others.
May 7th 1985The city of Brookfield, Wisconsin passed a law against all pocketing in front of residential homes with the exception of labor disputes.
Then amended this and included a ban on labor picketing as well. (carey v brown; equal protection) may15 1985
“The protection and preservation of the home.”
This law caused Schultz and Braun to stop picketing and file a suit in federal district court.
Permanent injunction against the law unless it was narrowed in scope
7th district affirmed that the law violated the 1st Amendment
Legal question: Does the city ordinance violate the first amendment?
Plaintiff: “the practice of picketing before or about residences and dwellings causes emotional disturbance and distress to the occupants ” [and] “has as its object the harassing of such occupants.” The ordinance also evinces a concern for public safety, noting that picketing obstructs and interferes with “the free use of public sidewalks and public ways of travel.
(FROM LYLES WORDPRESS): The First Amendment permits the government to prohibit offensive speech as intrusive when the “captive” audience cannot avoid the objectionable speech. The target of the focused picketing banned by the Brookfield ordinance is just such a “captive.” The resident is figuratively and perhaps literally trapped within the home, and because of the unique and subtle impact of such picketing is left with no ready means of avoiding the unwanted speech. Thus, the “evil” of targeted residential picketing, “the very presence of an unwelcome visitor at the home,” is “created by the medium of expression itself.” Accordingly, the Brookfield ordinance’s complete ban of that particular medium of expression is narrowly tailored.
Defendant: (Zuzanna)
Holding:
6-3
The ordinance passed the strict standards of being neutral and serving a significant gov interest which is protecting the well being tranquility and privacy of the home.
. Since there are other channels of communication the law protects freedom of privacy while not completely limiting censor ship
-it leaves open ample alternative channels of communication
– the ban is limited to picketing in front of residential homes.
– this narrow ordinance allows a more general dissemination of a message
– they may go door to door expressing their message
Defense notes:
Using the arguments presented in Madsen v. Women’s Health Centers
–> Public sidewalks are an appropriate place for picketing
–> The content of the speech should not be impacting the ruling of the Court, rather the time, place, and manner
Time, Place, and Manner
–> Broadness of the statute (Lanzetta) would lead to an abolishing of any kind of picketing
–> the argument brought up in the dissent of this case is that if a young child broke their wrist and a teammate of theirs from a basketball team stood outside their home with a “Get well soon Charlie– our team needs you” poster, they would be violating the statute
