Today the United States Supreme Court denied the State of Kansas’ request to review the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision striking down Kansas’ Ag Gag law.
In August of last year, the Tenth Circuit found that the Kansas Ag Gag law was facially unconstitutional in violation of the First Amendment because it operated only to silence critics of animal agriculture.
This is a significant victory! Supreme Court review threatened not just our victory in Kansas, but a decade’s worth of victories against these laws, in states including Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Iowa, and North Carolina.
