Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit March 28, 1980, 79-1379 (State of Missouri v. National Organization for Women, Inc.)

STEPHENSON, Circuit Judge.

This case poses serious questions concerning the First Amendment’s right of petition and the scope of the antitrust laws. The primary question with which we must deal is the applicability of the Sherman Act to a politically motivated but economically tooled boycott participated in and organized by noncompetitors of those who suffered as a result of the boycott.
