Fosta challenge dismissed
Fosta challenge dismissed and it actually kind of implies that we can't be prosecuted for providing support to sex workers.
I think that they should have included the fact that DOJ had already said they thought it was unconstitutional but then they fought the challenge.https://frontpageconfidential.com/fosta-sesta-frankenstein-passes-doj-unconstitutional/ Their argument also failed to cite that the federal government can't create prostitution laws, they can create trafficking laws, but fosta was clearly a federal pros law. Hoke v. United States, 227 U.S. 308 (1913), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court, which held that the United States Congress could not regulate prostitution per se, as that was strictly the province of the states. I also think they should have had current sex workers who are at risk of arrest as plaintiffs. I think they didn't do enough to engage the sex workers who are at risk fo arrest, and they rushed writing the brief. I hope they will consider reframing their argument and filing another challenge
