The First Amendment issue here is, as the parties frame it, fairly narrow: is there a constitutionally protected right to videotape police carrying out their duties in public? Basic First Amendment principles, along with case law from this and other circuits, answer that question unambiguously in the affirmative. – Kermit Victor Lipez	added by Normando 5 months ago
Only in exceptional circumstances will content-based restrictions be constitutionally permissible under the First Amendment, certainly, the Montana government has a compelling state interest in protecting the health, welfare, and privacy of its citizens, but the statute is so vague that it is virtually unenforceable. A vague statute is, by definition, not narrowly tailored, and as such it will wither under First Amendment scrutiny. – Lynn Greenky	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Constitutionally, people should have the opportunity to seek redress from their government, when you go to seek redress and your government doesn’t listen to you, where do you turn? These people were seeking redress from the next best thing, which would be us. – Barbara Ehardt	Found on CNN 1 year ago
If the court said that diversity is not a compelling interest, the first thing to bear in mind is that because they likely said academic freedom is not a constitutionally protected interest under the First Amendment, at least in so far as it relates to institutional autonomy to select the student body, that means that you will greatly weaken the autonomy of colleges and universities, not only with respect to admissions, but with respect to other things like curriculum. – Rachel Moran	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
We need to clarify that under Michigan law, access to abortion is not only legal, but constitutionally protected, if the 1931 law goes into effect, it will punish women and strip away their right to make decisions about their own bodies. – Gretchen Whitmer	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
[A] public policy of simply discouraging people from owning or using firearms is not, in and of itself, a constitutionally permissible objective, any more than discouraging people from religious observance would be permissible to some oh-so-progressive government that considered religion as hopelessly declassé as progressives nowadays consider the right to keep and bear arms .... And any statute or regulation that burdens the right to keep and bear arms on the ground that guns are a public health hazard should enjoy the same frosty reception in court that would be given a statute or regulation that burdened the free exercise of religion as a mental hazard. – Daniel D. Polsby	added by Normando 1 year ago
If The US Supreme Court holds that federal border guards can not be sued, even for flagrant constitutional violations, The US Supreme Court will allow one of the world's largest law enforcement forces to violate constitutionally guaranteed rights with impunity, the US Supreme Court would strike a severe blow to constitutional accountability and the rule of law. – David Gans	Found on CNN 2 years ago

Colorado has weaponized its law to silence speech it disagrees with, to compel speech it approves of, and to punish anyone who dares to dissent, colorado’s law — and others like it — are a clear and present danger to every American’s constitutionally protected freedoms and the very existence of a diverse and free nation. – Kristen Waggoner	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We’ve watched the crisis in Ukraine unfold over several months. There’s plenty of time for the president to coordinate with Congress, we live in a constitutional system where no one branch has complete power. It’s not constitutionally permissible for the president to have a monopoly over these decisions. – Chris Edelson	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We support Officer Cha's constitutionally protected right to present his defense against these charges that stemmed from this extremely volatile incident that an autopsy concluded took Mr. Moore's life while he was serving time in prison on anothermatter. – Tony Montoya	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Every person should be treated with dignity and respect. Our laws should protect the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of every citizen, no matter who they are, unfortunately, coercive sexual orientation and gender identity laws, like Equality Act, undermine both fairness and freedom, targeting those whose views the government does n’t like. – Greg Baylor	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It's unconscionable that the Fifth Circuit stayed such a well-reasoned decision that allowed constitutionally protected services to return in Texas, patients are being thrown back into a state of chaos and fear, and this cruel law is falling hardest on those who already face discriminatory obstacles in health care, especially Black Indigenous, and other people of color, undocumented immigrants, young people, those struggling to make ends meet, and those in rural areas. – Nancy Northup	Found on CNN 2 years ago
The right to institute a judicial action is constitutionally guaranteed one and right to fair hearing of a respondent is equally tolerated constitutionally. The right to determination of the dispute as presented by the contending parties is the exclusive responsibility of the judiciary. – The British government	Found on CNN 2 years ago
We are devastated that the Supreme Court has refused to block a law that blatantly violates Roe v. Wade. Right now, people seeking abortion across Texas are panicking — they have no idea where or when they will be able to get an abortion, if ever. Texas politicians have succeeded for the moment in making a mockery of the rule of law, upending abortion care in Texas, and forcing patients to leave the state — if they have the means — to get constitutionally protected healthcare. This should send chills down the spine of everyone in this country who cares about the constitution. – Nancy Northup	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
While getting illegal firearms is a priority for safer communities, this is not the way we train our members to get illegal firearms off the streets, mPD prides itself on treating everyone with respect, even when we are recovering guns and taking some of our most violent criminals off of our streets, it will be done constitutionally and respectfully. – Robert Contee	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The Justice Department is wrong: factually, legally and constitutionally. Georgia's law clearly strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in our elections. Merrick Garland said he was going to depoliticize the Justice Department yet files this blatantly political lawsuit, it is disappointing for those of us who respect the rule of law, because this is not a lawsuit, it is a political campaign flier. Falsely using race to scare people of color into believing their vote will not be counted is irresponsible and fundamentally wrong. – Christopher M. Carr	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It is unconscionable to subject Gun Owners of America constitutionally protected rights to the whimsical ‘ health ’ concerns of anti-gun politicians and bureaucrats, congress can never allow these failed gun laws to harm American gun owners again. – Aidan Johnston	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
A ruthless mob that uses violence to stop the Constitutionally-mandated counting of electoral votes is an attack on the U.S. Constitution itself. The President either wanted the mob he helped mobilize to take these steps, or he didn't care enough about his job responsibilities to try to stop them as they hunted down his Vice President and beat Capitol police officers; either way, it's impeachable. Let the political chips fall where they may. – Herrera Beutler	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
I preached a sermon, according to my constitutionally-protected religious beliefs, on do not commit adultery. – Chaplain Cizek	Found on FOX News 3 years ago

Herring said in a statement. The fact that Republican attorneys general are suing to block the ERA, and that they now have the support of the Trump Administration, is absolutely repugnant. FLASHBACK: WHY THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT IS A FEMINIST DISASTER On Tuesday, supporters of the ERAfiled a federal lawsuitin Massachusetts aimed at clearing a legal path for adoption of the amendment. The lawsuit argues that because the deadline was set forth in legislation authorizing states to ratify the amendment and not in the three-sentence amendment itself its not constitutionally binding and Virginias vote would put the amendment over the top. We are not surprised that the Trump administration acted swiftly to declare its opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment. – Wendy Murphy	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
