The Federalist Society has a teleforum today on Elonis v. United States:
John argued the case for Elonis in the Supreme Court. I wrote an amicus brief supporting the government.
The call-in number is 888-752-3232. No other code is required. We should have time for questions. If you miss the live call but still want to listen, I expect the FedSoc will post it as a podcast in a few days.
Description:
That's noon here on the Left Coast.On Monday, June 1, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Anthony Douglas Elonis, who was prosecuted under a 1939 law prohibiting the communication of threats for allegedly threatening his estranged wife via Facebook. Has the Supreme Court clarified the legal status of violent speech on the internet, or merely added to the confusion? Our experts will discuss the opinion and its implications.
