      You should read the link you posted:

      This holding was possible because California’s constitution contains an affirmative right of free speech which has been liberally construed by the Supreme Court of California, while the federal constitution’s First Amendment contains only a negative command to Congress to not abridge the freedom of speech.

      So my analogy wouldn’t apply to Californian shopping malls, but it would to others, and it would apply federally.

        Well damn, I got hasty.

        I still think it really should apply federally, but it doesn’t.
