Transcript of Reno v. ACLU Oral Arguments Online Today at ACLU's Freedom Network
Demonstrating the power of the Internet, the American Civil Liberties Union today posted online the transcript of the oral arguments in Reno v. ACLU only hours after the questioning ended.
Reno v. ACLU challenges censorship provisions of the Communications Decency Act aimed at protecting minors by criminalizing so-called "indecency" on the Internet. The government appealed the case to the Supreme Court after a federal three-judge panel ruled unanimously last June that the law unconstitutionally restricts free speech.
The transcript is available at http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/trial/sctran.html
In a news conference immediately following the oral arguments, ACLU lawyers said they were "encouraged" by the tenor of the questioning from the Justices. "This case presents the Court with its first opportunity to consider how traditional free speech principles should be applied to the Internet," said Steven Shapiro, ACLU Legal Director. "It is only fitting that we harness the power of cyberspace to further educate the public about what is at stake here."
The ACLU news conference was also cybercast live via Real Audio. The audio of the event is available on the web at http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/trial/appeal.html
The ACLU is also offering a special Reno v. ACLU "GIF" - a computer-animated image - that web publishers can post on their home pages for instant access to the transcripts and other information about the case. A change in the image will alert viewers the instant the Court releases its decision, which is expected by July. Details are at http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/trial/appeal.html
