Inc. Airport Commissioners v. Jews for Jesus

The Supreme Court also chose not to give the California state courts an opportunity to limit the scope of the resolution before ruling on its constitutionality. The Court concluded that the express words of the resolution left no room to narrow its scope in a way that would avoid the federal constitutional questions.

In answer to the airport's claim that the statute was not substantially overbroad because it applied only to expressive activity unrelated to airport purposes, Justice O'Connor called the line between airport-related speech and nonairport-related speech "murky" and concluded that the vagueness of such a limiting construction would leave its enforcement open to abuse by airport officials.
