Click here to view the Chamber’s brief in support of the petition for rehearing. The U.S. Chamber previously filed an amicus brief taking no position on the constitutionality of the exemption or the TCPA, but arguing that if the Court concludes that there is a violation of the First Amendment, then it should invalidate the TCPA’s prohibition, not its exemption, which would expose more speech to TCPA liability.
Shay Dvoretzky, Jeffrey R. Johnson, and Parker A. Rider-Longmaid of Jones Day served as co-counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center.
