Supreme Court Oral Argument in USAID v. Alliance for Open Society International Inc.
1 hour, 10 minutesDue to the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court heard oral argument via teleconference on a case involving free speech and federal restrictions to AIDS and HIV funding to foreign affiliates of U.S. based groups.
