Judge blocks West Virginia AG subpoenas over free speech
Original: Federal judge rules WV AG chilled free speech, blocks environmental group subpoenas
A federal judge has ruled that the West Virginia attorney general chilled free speech and blocked subpoenas targeting an environmental group. The decision stops the state's effort to compel records from the group, finding the action infringed on protected expression. It is being discussed as a significant win for environmental advocates and a check on the attorney general's use of investigative power against critics.
Why now: A federal ruling against a state attorney general on free speech grounds is a notable legal development for environmental advocacy.
