WISCONSIN v. MITCHELL
Opinion of the Court
statements . . . clearly were admissible on the question of
intent and adherence to the enemy." Id., at 642. See also
Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, 490 U. S. 228, 251-252 (1989)
(plurality opinion) (allowing evidentiary use of defendant's
speech in evaluating Title VII discrimination claim); Street
v. New York, 394 U. S. 576, 594 (1969).
For the foregoing reasons, we hold that Mitchell's First
Amendment rights were not violated by the application of
the Wisconsin penalty-enhancement provision in sentencing
him. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded for further
proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
