Breaking: Washington and eight other states have sought a TRO and prior restraint on information posted on the internet. Regardless of your opinions on gun control, this case would set a dangerous 1st Amendment precedent. I will argue the TRO today. scribd.com/document/38510…
We have filed a response to Washington's temporary restraining order. Their prior restraint violates the First Amendment, but it also cannot succeed on the merits: licensure decisions are not subject to APA scribd.com/document/38511…
At 1:30 ET, I will also be arguing a TRO in New Jersey State Court. The NJ AG has argued that posting information on the internet is a common law nuisance. Therefore, a state court of chancery can issue a global injunction against free speech. Our brief: scribd.com/document/38511…
TRO Denied in New Jersey state court (3rd in 5 days). Another TRO hearing in Seattle at 4 PT.
.@nytimes asked me about @POTUS tweet on 3D-Guns: “I don’t care what the president tweets I will be in court tonight defending the rights of my clients and of all Americans facing government censorship.” nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/…
The Attorneys General of Pennsylvania and New Jersey sought global injunctions for a prior restraint of speech. Both were denied. (The AGs tried to spin these rulings as victories).
