U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear ProtectMarriage.Com v Padilla

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear ProtectMarriage.Com v Padilla, 14-434. This California case raised the question of whether proponents of a particular ballot initiative deserve to keep the names and addresses of their contributors secret. The initiative banned same-sex marriage. The proponents had evidence that individuals known to have supported that ballot measure were subject to harassment. Back in 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that the Socialist Workers Party was entitled to such protection against disclosure.
