General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS,
FIRST DISTRICT
Syllabus
Respondent real estate broker applied for and obtained from the Illinois courts an injunction enjoining petitioners from distributing any literature in the City of Westchester, on the ground that their leaflets, critical of respondent’s alleged "blockbusting" and "panic peddling" activities in the Austin area of Chicago, invaded respondent’s right of privacy, and were coercive and intimidating, rather than informative, thus not being entitled to First Amendment protection.
Held: Respondent has not met the heavy burden of justifying the imposition of the prior restraint of petitioners’ peaceful distribution of informational literature of the nature disclosed by this record. Pp. 418-420.
115 Ill.App.2d 236, 253 N.E.2d 76, reversed.
BURGER, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court in which BLACK, DOUGLAS, BRENNAN, STEWART, WHITE, MARSHALL, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. HARLAN, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 420.
