The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today in
. The case challenges the constitutionality of a California law that requires nonprofits operating in the state to provide regulators with a copy of their Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form listing their largest donors.
The Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF), a $19 million nonprofit in the vast political network of billionaire Charles Koch, and its allies argue that the rule infringes on their First Amendment rights and will open donors up to harassment and deter their giving, despite the fact that the information is kept confidential from the public. The case has been consolidated with another challenge to California s law by the Thomas More Law Center, a Christian Right litigation group.

The California gnatcatcher,
Polioptila californica, is a little gray bird. Males are identifiable by their black cap (absent in winter), females by the slight brownish tinge of their plumage. Distinguishing the California gnatcatcher from the fifteen other species of gnatcatcher is easy, the ornithologist Jonathan Atwood told me “if you’re a gnatcatcher freak.” All the others are little gray birds, too.
Scientists have divided
Polioptila californica into several subspecies. The northernmost of these, the coastal California gnatcatcher (
Polioptila californica californica) lives along the western coast of the Baja Peninsula, from El Rosario, Mexico, north to Long Beach a range that includes some of the choicest undeveloped real estate in southern California. When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the subspecies as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1993, the region’s ranchers and developers were furious. The listing would cost them more than $900 mill
