    The American Association for the Advancement of Science filed a rather
    good 62-page "brief" arguing that:

        I. The Regulations Violate the First Amendment

        II. The Regulations Violate Equal Protection Applied
        to the Federal Government Through the Fifth Amendment

        III. The Regulations Violate the Privileges and Immunities
        Clause as Applied to the Federal Government under the Fifth
        Amendment by Infringing the Right to Make Use of the Most
        Effective Commercially Available Means of Communication

        IV. The Regulations Violate the Constitutional Right of Privacy.

    Their arguments are novel, interesting, and generally well presented.

    In addition, the Citadel for Constitutional Government has filed a sixth
    amicus brief with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  We are still pursuing
    an online copy of that brief.
