1Opinion of the CourtMadsen, J.
Nearly every state has passed what has come to be termed a "hate crimes statute". See Hate Crimes Statutes: A Status Report, Anti-Defamation League Legal Affairs Department, Civil Rights Division (Washington, D.C. 1991). Some of these statutes enhance penalties where crimes are bias motivated or target certain victims. Other statutes punish various forms of hate speech, such as cross burning. Hate Crimes, at 1-2. The primary inquiry in this case is whether Washington's hate crimes statute, malicious harassment, RCW 9A.36.080, is an unconstitutional infringement of First Amendment rights.
