National Religious Broadcasters v. Bessent (5th Cir.)

Case Overview

Appeal of the dismissal of the Johnson Amendment challenge. The Fifth Circuit will decide whether the Tax Anti-Injunction Act and the Declaratory Judgment Act's tax-suit bar deprived the district court of jurisdiction over a First Amendment challenge to the campaign-intervention condition on 501(c)(3) status, and whether a court may enter agreed relief the government consented to when those bars apply.
