Justice Kavanaugh just issued a tactical nuke on George Soros
SCOTUS has ruled organizations affiliated with the “Open Society” lose the protection of 1A and can be treated as international threats as this impacts supporters in the U.S. and abroad.

JUSTICE BREYER, with whom JUSTICE GINSBURG and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR join, dissenting. The Court, in my view, asks the wrong question and givesthe wrong answer. This case is not about the First Amend-ment rights of foreign organizations. It is about—and has always been about—the First Amendment rights of Ameri-can organizations.The last time this case came before us, those American organizations vindicated their constitutional right to speak freely, both at home and abroad. In Agency for Int’l Devel-opment v. Alliance for Open Society Int’l, Inc., 570 U. S. 205 (2013) (AOSI I ), we held that the First Amendment forbidsthe Government from distorting their speech by requiring,as a condition of receiving federal funds, that they “pledge allegiance” to a state-sponsored message. Id., at 220. This time, the question is whether the American organi-zations enjoy that same constitutional protection againstgovernment-compelled distortion when they speak through clearly identified affiliates that have been incorporated overseas. The answer to that question, as I see it, is yes.I dissent from the Court’s contrary conclusion.
