grant vacate remand gvr. 

hold till meta v washington grant a stay meanwhile 

summarily reverse, citing salazar.

just issue statement

1 corporate speech case

2 used strict scrutiny

3 when overruling austin, it explained why, roberts concurring, no such passage explaining why it reversed talley or mcintyre or aclf or waychtower tornnillo wooley  or riley. 

4 the passages about disclaimers were dicta, after the court resolved the express advocacy argument. plaintiffs did not argue the point. the word disclaimer did not come up at either oral argument, 

5 the discussion was in terms of a less restrictive means than the ban in austin. here there is no such ban at issue.   

6 c u correctly said that the court disclaimer and disclosure cases have used the term exacting scrutiny. but mcinytre, like meyer v grant, used exacting scrutiny as a synonym for strict scrutiny. the term is a contronym.  

it then discussed how some of these cases used exacting scrutiny as a less demanding standard.
