Sorry to be playing post-by-post catch up here.


In this case, the AFA made a deal with Ford to stop advertising in certain publications. This is not speech. This is action. And it's actionable.


(Ford may not have any legal liability - they have the right to act on whatever advise they please. It's the AFA which took actions, not mere speech, to interfere with existing business relationships. They can, and should, be sued).
