Somehow I've never hear of this one, that's quite a ruling:
"Vermont argues that its prohibitions safeguard
medical privacy and diminish the likelihood that marketing
will lead to prescription decisions not in the best interests of patients or the State. It can be assumed that these interests are significant. Speech in aid of pharmaceutical marketing, however, is a form of expression protected by the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. As a consequence, Vermont’s statute must be subjected to
heightened judicial scrutiny. The law cannot satisfy that
standard. "
