Justice Thomas Gets New Jersey to Admit that It Hasn’t Received Any Public Complaints to Justify Its Subpoena Against a State-Based Pro-Life Center

Thomas Did you have ░░░░░░░░ that formed the basis ░░░░░░░░ your concern about the ░░░░░░░░ activities here IYER We ░░░░░░░░ had complaints about crisis ░░░░░░░░ centers Thomas No about ░░░░░░░░ crisis pregnancy center IYER ░░░░░░░░ I think we ve ░░░░░░░░ clear from the outset ░░░░░░░░ we haven t had ░░░░░░░░ about this specific Thomas ░░░░░░░░ you had no basis ░░░░░░░░ think that they were ░░░░░░░░ any of their contributors ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ don t think that ░░░░░░░░ correct your honor I ░░░░░░░░ we had carefully canvassed ░░░░░░░░ of the public information ░░░░░░░░ is provided on the ░░░░░░░░ of First Choice in ░░░░░░░░ a determination that we ░░░░░░░░ to initiate an investigation ░░░░░░░░ But you had no ░░░░░░░░ basis IYER I don ░░░░░░░░ think that s true ░░░░░░░░ honor I think for ░░░░░░░░ you could take a ░░░░░░░░ at a comparison between ░░░░░░░░ donation page for First ░░░░░░░░ that we have carved ░░░░░░░░ from the very beginning ░░░░░░░░ But you had no ░░░░░░░░ IYER We had no ░░░░░░░░ but the state governments ░░░░░░░░ government initiate investigations all ░░░░░░░░ time in the absence ░░░░░░░░ complaints where they have ░░░░░░░░ reason to suspect that ░░░░░░░░ could be potential issues ░░░░░░░░ legal compliance And look ░░░░░░░░ could be the case ░░░░░░░░ on our investigation when ░░░░░░░░ look at documents when ░░░░░░░░ look at information that ░░░░░░░░ will determine that First ░░░░░░░░ isn t liable for ░░░░░░░░ violation of law Thomas ░░░░░░░░ it just seemed to ░░░░░░░░ a burdensome way to ░░░░░░░░ out whether someone has ░░░░░░░░ confusing website But you ░░░░░░░░ earlier that you did ░░░░░░░░ agree with their characterization ░░░░░░░░ why they were being ░░░░░░░░ to this And it ░░░░░░░░ seem that the obvious ░░░░░░░░ to refute that was ░░░░░░░░ say we had 100 ░░░░░░░░ But you say you ░░░░░░░░ no complaints but rather ░░░░░░░░ looked at the website ░░░░░░░░ their materials and you ░░░░░░░░ it could have been ░░░░░░░░ So why is your ░░░░░░░░ any better than theirs ░░░░░░░░ So your honor I ░░░░░░░░ point you to the ░░░░░░░░ Declaration which is at ░░░░░░░░ 400 to 401 of ░░░░░░░░ Joint Appendix which lays ░░░░░░░░ the predicate for the ░░░░░░░░ s investigation of First ░░░░░░░░ And we had concerns ░░░░░░░░ four buckets We had ░░░░░░░░ about potentially misleading donors ░░░░░░░░ had concerns about the ░░░░░░░░ practice of medicine We ░░░░░░░░ concerns about patient privacy ░░░░░░░░ And we had concerns ░░░░░░░░ potentially misleading or untrue ░░░░░░░░ statements So I think ░░░░░░░░ had a more than ░░░░░░░░ basis to initiate this ░░░░░░░░ And again Thomas But ░░░░░░░░ had no complaints IYER ░░░░░░░░ had no complaints But ░░░░░░░░ think that your honor ░░░░░░░░ goes at most to ░░░░░░░░ merits That doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to the standing —”
