: Point of LawInstitute for Justice challenges DC speech licensing scheme
By Ted Frank
The District of Columbia "makes it illegal for anyone to 'guide or escort' anyone else for hire without first passing a test and obtaining a special license. The prohibition on unauthorized talking covers all of the public spaces in D.C.--including roads and sidewalks." The Institute for Justice, through attorney Bob McNamara, is suing over the restriction on speech and economic liberty. [IJ, IJ video, WSJ, MSNBC, Legal Times, AP]
