It really was a good day at SCOTUS.

Yet! The Democrat AG of NJ is still pursuing this in state court using the most specious of grounds. Democrat attorneys have no fear of being disbarred for such actions, so why not. See link below.



In a Section 1983 suit challenging a subpoena issued by the New Jersey attorney general demanding documents and donor information, First Choice has established a present injury to its First Amendment associational rights sufficient to confer Article III standing.

Since the 1950s, this Court has confronted one official demand after another like the Attorney General's. 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. Accordingly, the judgment of the Third Circuit is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.


It is so ordered.

The easy fix is to prosecute the AG for depravation of civil rights. Jail a couple and this crap will stop.

Good ruling. All groups, left right indifferent, should be protected from government snooping.
 
Looks like the 3rd circuit is giving the 9th a run for its money when it comes to abridging citizens' rights.

They have immunity. Although a civil lawsuit may be possible.
