It overturned a New Yorker’s four year sentence, saying crude political speech at a debate was protected, and urged interpretation consistent with First Amendment limits.

Welfare Residence Ruling Raises U S Welfare Costs
The Supreme Court struck down one year or longer residency rules for welfare, potentially adding 125 to 175 million dollars yearly to relief costs nationwide.
