“Just as discrimination on the basis of religion or race is forbidden by the Constitution, so is discrimination on the basis of the exercise of protected First Amendment activities.”
—(Murgia v. Municipal Court (1975) 15 Cal.3d 286, 303)
On July 27, attorneys for CMP founder and project lead David Daleiden filed a motion to dismiss, as an unconstitutional discriminatory prosecution under the California Supreme Court’s Murgia vs. Municipal Court case, the unprecedented felony criminal charges brought by Kamala Harris against Daleiden under the California video recording law. The motion presents new evidence these unprecedented charges were brought solely to chill Daleiden’s exercise of First Amendment rights on behalf of the private interests of Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation, in violation of the California Supreme Court’s People v. Eubanks case.
