About

PII has worked over the last two decades to educate and inform the public regarding public policy issues that impact the constitutional order upon which our country was founded. PII is primarily focused on promoting robust First Amendment protections for citizens and exposing judicial overreach that contravenes fundamental American principles such as free speech, freedom of the press, and other natural rights bestowed upon the public by our Constitution. PII similarly has a substantial interest in preventing judicial overreach, especially when that overreach has substantial First Amendment implications
