Youll hear argument first this morning in case 151194, packingham versus North Carolina. Mr. Goldberg. Mr. Chief justice, may it please the court, there are three principal features of North Carolinas law that make it a stark abridgement of the freedom of speech. First, section 2, 2. 5, reaches vast swaths of core First Amendment activity that is totally unrelated to the governments preventive purpose. Mr. Packingham was not accused of communicating with or viewing the profile of a minor. He violated section 202. 5 by speaking to his friends and family about his experience in traffic court. And if today he were to view or respond to any of the thousands of twitter messages about his case in this court, that would be a felony. Second, the law does not operate in some sleepy First Amendment corner. It operates and forbids speech on the very platforms on which americans today are most likely to communicate, to organize for social change, and to petition their government. Third, section 20

Who have been down this road many times. Criminal investigations are designed to find out if a crime was committed and hold somebody responsible. Congress has a broader mandate, were not prosecutors, but our goal is to shed light on information that may be highly significant but not necessarily criminal. Adjust policy as needed, change laws when appropriate. But in a particular circumstance, find out what happened, not as a prosecutor but as a policymaker. Mr. Rosenburg said in the absence of a constitutional privilege or selfimposed statutory restriction upon its authority, congress and its committees have a virtual pliniary power needed to discharge legislative functions. I think its true but its bounded by the respect for the criminal process. So were trying to find out where that boundary exists, how to navigate this problem, and proceed in an orderly manner so we do not get in the way of mr.
