If you are a sitting judge in any large urban area you will occasionally see someone charged with begging (and that someone is not a sitting judge asking legislators to vote for a judicial pay raise but a real person begging). And so a ruling that Michigan’s anti-begging statute cannot withstand facial attack because it prohibits a substantial amount of solicitation, an activity that the First Amendment protects, but allows other solicitation based on content might be of interest to you or the local public defender.  A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued this ruling.
