It examines a recent Court of Appeals decision striking down a Minnesota law making it illegal to lie about ballot propositions such as school bond levies.

The 281 Care Committee decision, referred to by Professor Schultz, after 38 pages of opinion, states that the 8th CA reverses and remands for proceedings "consistent with this opinion." This was actually the second time these parties were before the court of appeals in the case. Given the opinion, I am betting there will be a third appearance.
