First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin

On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court held that a constitutional challenge to a state attorney general’s investigative demand for donor information belongs in federal court. The ruling was a victory for WLF, whose amicus brief argued that the lower court’s decision—keeping the case in state court—was at odds with the text, history, and purpose of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (providing federal jurisdiction for constitutional claims against state officials) and incentivized lawfare. WLF also argued that these cases must be heard in disinterested federal fora, overseen by appointed, life-tenured federal judges.
