U.S. Supreme Court
Case Status
Pending
Docket Number
Lower Court Opinion
Questions Presented
1. Whether the government has an informational interest in donor disclosure that defeats First Amendment associational interests, when a speaker engages in issue speech relevant to an election but does not discuss the election;
2. Whether Alaska’s test for distinguishing issue speech from express advocacy is unconstitutionally vague; and
3. Whether requiring that speakers disclose their donors on the face of their communications advances a compelling or sufficiently important interest.
