The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a National Rifle Association lawsuit against an ex-New York state official over claims she pressured companies to blacklist it following the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote Thursday "the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech.” The NRA says ex-New York Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo violated its free-speech rights while investigating NRA-endorsed insurance policies. The Supreme Court ruling reverses a lower-court decision tossing out the NRA's suit against Vullo. The Fairfax, Virginia-based NRA says it's “a landmark victory.” Vullo argues she rightly investigated NRA-endorsed insurance policies.
