Rush Moore Is Disgusted with the New Sales Tax Issued

question 9

True/False

Rush Moore is disgusted with the new sales tax issued by the state on all hard liquor products. On the steps of the state capitol building, Moore uses a megaphone to repeatedly chant one word "f------ bastards" without explanation. A group of students from a local parochial high school are visiting the capitol that day and are deeply offended by Moore's chanting. In keeping with prior precedent, the state supreme court likely would rule in favor of Moore and his cohorts as being free to continue the demonstration as all messages on government grounds are protected speech.
