Question Presented (from Petition)

In Reed v. Town of Gilbert, this Court clarified that content-based restrictions are those that apply to particular speech because of the topic discussed or the idea or message expressed, and reaffirmed that content-based restrictions on speech require strict scrutiny review. Government restrictions on commercial speech that do not apply to non-commercial speech are content-based. Should strict scrutiny review apply in such a challenge?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether strict scrutiny review should apply to government restrictions on commercial speech that do not apply to non-commercial speech
