162006P.pdf   01/19/2017  Missouri Broadcasters Assoc.  v.  Lafayette Lacy
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2006
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Constitutional law. Plaintiffs' complaint, alleging Mo Rev. 
   Stat. Sec 311.070.4(1) and Mo. Code Regs. Ann. tit. 11. Sec. 
   70-2.240(5)(G), (I) detailing the information alcohol manufacturers, 
   wholesalers, distributors and retailers can include in their 
   advertisements, violate plaintiffs' freedom of speech under the First 
   Amendment, stated a claim upon which relief can be granted, and the 
   district court erred in granting defendants' motion to dismiss; on its 
   face, plaintiffs' amended complaint plausibly demonstrates the challenged 
   provisions do not directly advance the government's asserted substantial 
   interest of promoting responsible drinking, are more extensive than 
   necessary and unconstitutionally compel speech and association.
