In a unanimous decision written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the high court "holds that the NRA plausibly alleged that Vullo violated the First Amendment by coercing DFS-regulated entities to terminate their business relationships with the NRA in order to punish or suppress the NRA’s advocacy."

The leftist judges realize that for every conservative organization like the NRA, there are 5 ultra-left activist organizations and/or intitiatves that might suffer.

Like ESG.

It "merely" allows the NRA's lawsuit to go to trial, but the ruling was unanimous! The New York State Department of Financial Services would be wise to settle before going to try, though wisdom and bureaucrats seldom are companions. Especially hoplophobic bureaucrats.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

+5 bonus points.  I had to look up hoplophobia.
