Question(s) Presented

1. Does a plausible allegation that a facially “neutral” law acts as a proxy for viewpoint discrimination state a valid claim for relief under the First Amendment?

2. Does a law that determines which private parties may receive a certain type of private donation constitute a government subsidy of speech, or instead a restriction on private speech?
