Considers the conflict of interest and the protection of investigation practices under the 1st amendment, the judge will throw this out as soon as it lands on his or her desk. Then I can laugh at Q99 and the lot of ya who were chalking this up to a win already.
Even if the real criminals avoid justice, PP was cleared of wrongdoing and rightfully so; that's a win 👆
SCOTUS Rules Anti-Abortion Activists Owe Planned Parenthood $2M
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a bid by anti-abortion activists to throw out more than $2 million in damages they were ordered to pay Planned Parenthood after secretly recording video of abortion providers in a scheme to try to show the illicit sale of aborted fetal tissue for profit.
The justices turned away the appeal by David Daleiden and his group, the Center for Medical Progress, of a lower court’]'s decision in 2022 upholding most of the damages in a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood, a women's healthcare and abortion provider, accusing the defendants of conspiracy, eavesdropping, and other claims.
The lower court rejected the argument made by the defendants that with the secret recording they were exercising their right to free speech under the U.S. Constitution.
