US Supreme Court refuses to join Arkansas legal fight over law that requires contractors to not boycott Israel
Fox News
An Arkansas state law requires contractors to pledge to not boycott Israel. People who oppose the law want the Supreme Court to get involved, but the court refuses to step in.
The full federal appeals court in St. Louis upheld the law, overturning a three-judge panel's finding that it violated constitutional free speech rights.
Similar measures in Arizona, Kansas and Texas were initially blocked by courts, prompting lawmakers to focus only on larger contracts. Arkansas’ law applies to contracts worth $1,000 or more.
