 of coercion in this case to stand as an attractive model for future officials who want to control what people say, hear, and think. This is regrettable. This is from Alito. What the officials did in this case was more subtle than the ham-handed censorship found to be unconstitutional in other cases, but it was no less coercive. And because of the perpetrator's high positions, it was even more dangerous. It was blatantly unconstitutional, and the country may come to regret the court's failure to say so.
