Plot outline
Minnesota elects its judges and places limits on what they can say in their campaigns in order to preserve the impartiality of the judiciary. Minnesota Supreme Court candidate Greg Wersal, with the backing of the state Republican Party, challenged the rules as unconstitutionally limiting his First Amendment right of free speech.
