Forsyth County v. The Nationalist Movement Decision

The Forsyth County v. The Nationalist Movement Decision:
1) the ordinance as implemented violated the free speech guarantees of the First and Fourteenth Amendments because: a) they were so narrowly drawn, and b) the fee would depend on the administrator's assessment of the amount of hostility likely to be created by the group; 2) given such constitutional violations neither the $1,000 fee or even some lower nominal amount would be acceptable.
