Key Cases Relevant to Intel v. Hamidi
State Action and the Public Forum Doctrine:
These cases are relevant to the question of the applicability
of the First Amendment (or other Constitutional protections) when the purported
constitutional violation was arguably instigated by a private actor, not
the government. These cases are important because the trial court
in Intel v. Hamidi, held that Hamidi's email messages are
not protected by the First Amendment, emphasizing that "[t]he federal guarantee
of free speech operates against governmental entities, not private parties.
Intel is not a governmental entity . . . ."
In First Amendment cases, the state action issue is closely tied
to (and sometimes conflated with) the public forum doctrine.
