(AP-Arkansas Business) Andrew DeMillo - U.S. District Judge Brian Miller dismissed a lawsuit by the Arkansas Times challenging a 2017 state law requiring contractors to pledge not to boycott Israel, ruling that such a boycott is not protected by the First Amendment. Miller wrote that the Times "may even call upon others to boycott Israel, write in support of such boycotts, and engage in picketing and pamphleteering to that effect. This does not mean, however, that its decision to refuse to deal, or to refrain from purchasing certain goods, is protected by the First Amendment."
