191378P.pdf   06/22/2022  Arkansas Times LP  v.  Mark Waldrip
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1378
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, for the Court En Banc] 
   Civil case - Constitutional law. Arkansas Act 710 prohibiting state 
   entities from contracting with private companies unless the contract 
   includes a certification that the company is not currently engaged in, and 
   agrees for the duration of the contract not to engage in, a boycott of 
   Israel, does not violate the First Amendment; under Arkansas's canons of 
   statutory interpretation, the court concludes the Arkansas Supreme Court 
   would read Act 710 as prohibiting purely commercial, non-expressive 
   conduct; the certification requirement concerning unprotected, 
   nondiscriminatory conduct is not unconstitutional compelled speech. Judge 
   Kelly, dissenting.
