This Essay concludes that this judicial discomfort is unjustified in this instance. From both a constitutional and …

Unsurprisingly, the consequence has been inconsistent case law and much uncertainty as to what represents valid licensing. In addition, in the past decades, courts have proven increasingly reticent to strictly apply this rule and have declared …
