October 28, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 19 AMENDED MEMORANDUM & ORDER: I conclude that, under the circumstances, plaintiffs have demonstrated a clear or substantial likelihood of establishing that the burdens imposed on their important First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights of politi cal affiliation outweigh New York's asserted interest in enforcing § 7.104.4(e).
