UNANIMOUS DECISION TO PROTECT FIRST AMENDMENT IS BIG VICTORY
EUGENE DELGAUDIO SAID TO SUPPORTERS IN NATIONAL EMAIL:
Thank you to a unanimous Supreme Court that agreed with our sound Arguments in our Amicus brief. Thank you to God and our legal team lead by William Olson of Winchester, Virginia and our supporters for the blessing to be in this fight. The Supreme Court agrees the First Amendment and its defense is necessary at all times.
A unanimous SCOTUS victory is a great victory, as it prevents a state Attorney General from obtaining nonprofit donor lists based on an administrative subpoena.
The AG wanted the case decided in state court which likely would side with the AG. The nonprofit wanted the protection of a federal court. The AG argued the nonprofit had not been injured, and the Supreme Court rejected that argument. Now, nonprofits can go to federal court immediately, before complying with a subpoena or litigating in state court
We argued in our Amicus Brief that the same rules had to apply when a leftist AG went after a pro-life group as when a conservative AG goes after a pro-abortion group. We argued the court had already decided this issue -- to protect the associational rights of nonprofits -- in several prior cases, and it should not now use standing to prevent a nonprofit from seeking the protection of a federal court.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed that a New Jersey anti-abortion clinic should be able to challenge a subpoena issued by state officials seeking donor information.
In a unanimous decision written by Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, the justices cleared the way for First Choice Women's Resource Centers to bring a First Amendment challenge in federal court as it tries to fight the subpoena.
The ruling is a victory for the group, which alleged it had been targeted by state investigators because it sought to discourage women from having abortions. The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General has said the subpoena was part of an investigation into whether the group had misled potential clients and donors into thinking it offered abortions.
