National Endowment For The Arts V. Finley: Challenging The Facial Challenge, Gloria F. Taft

Campbell Law Review

This Note examines the facial challenge in National Endowment for the Arts ("NEA") v. Finley and how an as-applied challenge may have produced a different outcome. In particular, this Note will analyze the inadequacy of a facial challenge to the "decency & respect" provision, and in the alternative how an asapplied challenge would have invalidated the provision when applied to artists such as the Respondents in Finley.
