The American Association for the Advancement of Science filed a rather
good 62-page "brief" arguing that:
I. The Regulations Violate the First Amendment
II. The Regulations Violate Equal Protection Applied
to the Federal Government Through the Fifth Amendment
III. The Regulations Violate the Privileges and Immunities
Clause as Applied to the Federal Government under the Fifth
Amendment by Infringing the Right to Make Use of the Most
Effective Commercially Available Means of Communication
IV. The Regulations Violate the Constitutional Right of Privacy.
Their arguments are novel, interesting, and generally well presented.

In addition, the Citadel for Constitutional Government has filed a sixth
amicus brief with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. We are still pursuing
an online copy of that brief.
