“ Unable to obtain a hearing on the merits in the Alabama courts, the Association, in June 1960, commenced proceedings in the United States District Court to obtain a hearing there. Alleging that the restraining order and the failure of the Alabama courts to afford it a hearing on the validity of the order were depriving it of constitutional rights, the Association sought to enjoin enforcement of the order. ”

“ The third charge listed above is scarcely more substantial. Even if we were to indulge the doubtful assumption that an organized refusal to ride on Montgomery's buses in protest against a policy of racial segregation might, without more, in some circumstances violate a valid state law, such a violation ould not constitutionally be the basis for a permanent denial of the right to associate for the advocacy of ideas by lawful means. ”

“ The court thus regarded as too unimportant to prevent consideration of the merits the very ground on which it relies here, even though it was accompanied by other failures to comply with the rules. In Shelby County v. Baker, 269 Ala. 111, 116, 110 So.2d 896, 900, the court said:
'Appellant has assigned thirty separate grounds as error, but has argued them in groups, so as to make available to this Court application of the rule that where assignments of error not kindred in nature are argued together and one of them is without merit, the others in the group will not be examined. ”

“ The remaining cases are the only ones which are at all related to the present case. In them, the Supreme Court of Alabama held that if any one of a group of unrelated assignments of error which had been argued together, or 'in bulk,' was insufficient, all of them must fall. ”

“ Such proceedings should include the prompt entry of a decree, in accordance with state procedures, vacating in all respects the permanent injunction order issued by the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, and permitting the Association to take all steps necessary to qualify it to do business in Alabama. Should we unhappily be mistaken in our belief that the Supreme Court of Alabama will promptly implement this disposition, leave is given the Association to apply to this Court for further appropriate relief. ”

“ Vermont Statutes Ann., Tit. 11, § 861.↑ See the second sentence of Art. 12, § 232, of the Alabama Constitution, quoted in note 9, supra.↑ The Circuit Court's decree, presumably an exercise of the court's general powers in equity, was not accompanied by any opinion, but was evidently based on the court's finding that the other allegations of the complaint were proved by the evidence, and, along with the Association's failure to register, warranted its ouster from the State. ”

“ The corporation must file notice of amendments to its articles of incorporation and changes in its place of business or authorized agent. [9]
There is nothing in these sections which attaches the consequence of permanent ouster to a foreign corporation which fails to register. ”

“ And only one case was cited in appellant's argument, which seemed to argue several assignments together. Nevertheles , we will exercise our discretion and give consideration to the points argued. * * *' (Italics added.) ”

“ See id., 357 U.S. at 463-464, 78 S.Ct. at 1172-1173. '* * * (T) he power to regulate must be so exercised as not, in attaining a permissible end, unduly to infringe the protected freedom.' Cantwell v. ”
