I am still in the middle of studying it, so I can't give you
any specifics right now. Commercial speech is protected
under the 1st Amendment, but it is considered a lesser form
or protected speech and can be regulated by the states. In
other words, a challenge to state action based on the 1st
Amendment will not get the same level of scrutiny as some
other forms of speech.
