Condominium owners have no constitutionally protected right to freedom of speech within their common interest ownership communities. This has the ring of heresy to those who view the First Amendment, correctly, as moral and legal bedrock on which our democracy rests. But other legal principles add shades of gray to an area that is often viewed as black and white. Two points in particular create the framework for this discussion: The freedom of expression the First Amendment guarantees is broad, deep, and strong, but it is not absolute. It does not allow anyone to shout fire in a crowded theater, it does not protect from liability statements that are libelous, nor does it permit expressions that threaten the life of the president or incite others to violence. The First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law….” The operative word is “Congress.” The First Amendment, as made applicable to each state by the Fourteenth Amendment, forbids governmental entities from infringing on the free speech rights of citizens, but it imposes no comparable constraints on private entities. A City Council could not prohibit citizens from publically distributing flyers objecting to a proposed ordinance, as long as they weren’t breaking windows, waving weapons, or violating other laws. But a community association board, at least under free speech analysis, might well be able to prohibit owners from posting signs in common areas or distributing flyers even if they contain “speech” decrying a special assessment as “illegal” or demanding the recall of the board.
so #1 is C?
