United States Ninth Circuit

Plaintiffs unsuccessfully challenge a preliminary injunction, preventing them from promoting their zero-income tax theories, on grounds that 1) the injunction is overbroad, 2) the requirement that they give the government their customer list violates their First and Fourteenth Amendment associational rights, and 3) the order that they place a copy of the injunction on their websites constitutes illegal compelled speech.
