The US Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a bunch of faith-based “crisis pregnancy centers” in New Jersey to fight a subpoena from the state’s Democratic lawyer common.
The choice could make it simpler for liberal and conservative teams to problem related investigatory subpoenas.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a unanimous court docket.
“Since the 1950s, this court has confronted one official demand after another like the Attorney General’s,” Gorsuch wrote.
“Over and again, we have held those demands burden the exercise of First Amendment rights. Disputing none of these precedents but seeking ways around them, the Attorney General has offered a variety of arguments. Some are old, some are new, but none succeeds.”
This is a growing story and will probably be up to date.
