“Pillar of Law Calls on Texas Court to Prevent Criminalization of Politics”

Press release:

The Pillar of Law Institute filed an amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) brief with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in the case Cary v. Texas today, arguing that the Texas Attorney General’s Office unconstitutionally applied the state’s bribery, money laundering and organized crime statutes to what were actually campaign finance violations.

I’m one who is generally concerned about the criminalization of politics, but from my quick look I worry this would greatly expand first amendment protections for bribery.
