In another First Amendment setback for Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a federal judge Monday ordered him to stop withholding city money from the Brooklyn Museum of Art and to end an eviction proceeding he began over the controversial exhibit “Sensation.”

U.S. District Court Judge Nina Gershon concluded that the mayor had violated the museum’s First Amendment rights by trying to punish it for exhibiting works he deemed “sick,” “disgusting” and thus unworthy of city funding.

The Giuliani administration has lost more than 15 court cases involving the First Amendment, with issues ranging from the rights of city workers to speak in public to denial of permits for demonstrations.
