 In a 6–3 decision, the Court ruled that law’s regulations on speech-related conduct are constitutional.Writing for the majority, Justice John Paul Stevens argued that the statute “is not a regulation of speech.Rather, it is a regulation of the place where some speech may occur.” While the statute prohibits speakers from approaching unwilling listeners, it does not require a speaker to move away from a passerby, or place a restriction on the content of a message.
