Supreme Court narrows shield for charity fundraisers fraud ruling
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that false and misleading representations by telemarketers soliciting charitable gifts are not protected by the First Amendment. The decision allows states to prosecute fundraisers that keep most donations while claiming they go to charity, reviving a fraud charge in Illinois against Telemarketing Associates for VietNow. Justice Ginsburg noted that fraud applies to affirmatively misleading statements even as the First Amendment preserves charitable solicitation.
