The Third Circut rules that a permanent injunction barring promoting and selling unlawful tax advice is permissible under the First Amendment: U.S. v. Bell (No. 04-1640, Jul. 12, 2005). "Packaging a commercial message with token political commentary does not insulate commercial speech from appropriate restrictions."
