Ashcroft v. ACLU

The Supreme Court released its decision in Ashcroft v. ACLU, upholding the injunction on the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), because the statute likely violates the First Amendment.

The decision is 5-4. Justice Kennedy delivered the opinion, joined by Stevens, Souter, Thomas and Ginsburg. Stevens filed a concurring opinion, joined by Ginsburg.

Scalia dissented.

Breyer dissented, joined by Rehnquist and O'Connor.

Now, off to read the decision.
