Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for a unanimous court, found that the N.R.A. had plausibly claimed a violation of the First Amendment, sending the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York, for further proceedings.

Supreme Court Clears Way for N.R.A. to Pursue First Amendment Challenge

The opinion, by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, found that the gun rights group had plausibly claimed a First Amendment violation.

www.nytimes.com

The N.R.A., in asking the Supreme Court to hear the case, cited what it described as the enormous regulatory power of the state official, Maria T. Vullo, a former superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services. The N.R.A. accused Ms. Vullo of applying “pressure tactics — including back-channel threats, ominous guidance letters and selective enforcement of regulatory infractions” and warned of wide-ranging consequences of a ruling against it. A court decision siding with Ms. Vullo, the group warned, would open the door to government officials making similar pleas about hot-button issues like abortion and the environment.

Ms. Vullo, in court filings, has pushed back again the N.R.A.’s allegations that she undermined the First Amendment.

Spin from Town Hall Rightwing Cukoo website. TownHall wants to make it about James. It is not.


"The dispute centers on whether Maria T. Vullo, who was a superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, had infringed on the free speech rights of the N.R.A. After a young man killed 17 people in a shooting at a school in Parkland, Fla., Ms. Vullo told insurance companies and banks that they should consider whether to provide services to the group." -- read that quote.

Who is responsible to oversee the New York Department of Financial Services?

Not NY State AG James:
This is how it works:
"Superintendent. Adrienne A. Harris was nominated to lead the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) by Governor Kathy Hochul in August, 2021 and confirmed by the New York State Senate on January 25, 2022."

The case, N.R.A. v.

The case, N.R.A. v. Vullo, No. 22-842, began in 2017, when the New York Department of Financial Services started an investigation into an insurance product known as “Carry Guard,” which provided coverage for various issues arising from the use of firearms, such as personal injuries and criminal defense.

The department regulates more than 1,400 companies and more than 1,900 financial institutions, and it concluded that Carry Guard violated state insurance law, in part, by providing liability coverage for injury from the wrongful use of a firearm. The department entered into agreements with the insurance groups and imposed civil penalties.

After the Parkland shooting in 2018, the department began to re-evaluate “the implications of regulated entities’ relationships with gun-promotion organizations,” according to legal filings for Ms. Vullo.

Show us all where the State AG is mentioned:

The events leading up to the case began in 2017, when the department opened an investigation into NRA-endorsed insurance programs to provide coverage for injuries caused by guns. In the wake of that investigation, three insurance companies acknowledged that some of the NRA-endorsed programs violated New York law, and they agreed both to pay fines of up to $7 million and to refrain from providing those programs to the state’s residents.

In 2018, a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., caused the death of 17 students and staff. That prompted Vullo to issue a press statement and “guidance” letters in which she called on insurance companies and banks to consider the risks to their reputations from doing business with groups, like the NRA, that promote guns.

After some insurance companies and banks severed their relationships with the NRA, the NRA went to federal court, where it argued that Vullo violated the group’s right to freedom of speech by coercing the companies and banks to stop doing business with the NRA.

Maria Vullo was the New York Superintendent of Financial Services. She assumed office in 2016. She left office in 2019.

Vullo (Democratic Party) ran for election for Attorney General of New York. She did not appear on the ballot for the Democratic primary on June 28, 2022.

Vullo's responsibility as the superintendent, an office created in 2011, was to protect markets and consumers in the state from fraud and to reform financial services regulation.[1]

She was pressured by Tish dummy... everyone is saying it....

So she is not controlled by the State AG, but your bullshit spin insists she is?

okay

and...

"everyone is saying it?" -- you channeling Trump?

Vullo runs a state investigation and the loons from Trump-land somehow see the State AG Letitia James behind it?

Uh oh! There is a conspiracy! Better Call Durham.
