Center for Constitutional Rights Takes Animal Rights ‘Terrorism’ Law to Supreme Court

Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 5, 2014.  Last night, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review its case challenging the federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) as a violation of the First Amendment. The law punishes causing lost profits to an animal enterprise, but makes no distinction between loss caused by criminal acts and loss caused by boycotts and other constitutionally-protected activity.
