SCS Action Line: Atty Robert Muise Sues Michigan Thought Police

An expert in constitutional law litigation, Robert Muise has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to stop her from using the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of hate groups as a prototype for a new hate crimes unit to prosecute hate crimes and review groups identified by the SPLC. The lawsuit claims that the AG's new policy legitimizes the "radical, leftist" SPCL's efforts to "marginalize" political opponents by targeting them as hate groups.

The suit is critical in stopping the Michigan state government from weaponizing the taxpayer-funded state AG's office to silence conservative voices and organizations and deal a death blow to our sacrosanct First Amendment rights. 

Muise is co-founder and Senior Counsel of the American Freedom Law Center, dedicated to defending religious liberties, the freedom of speech, and the right to life in state and federal trial and appellate courts all across the country.
