SANTA MONICA, CA -- Criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Douglas, who is also the longstanding Chairman of the Free Speech Coalition, told YNOT today that he is “very confident” that a legal challenge to any new 2257 regulations would effectively halt inspections of so-called Secondary Producers before they begin. Douglas cited “very persuasive constitutional arguments,” including “new” arguments not available in the last round of 2257 challenges, plus “poor draftsmanship in the amendments to 2257” as reasons why a judge might issue an injunction against enforcement while the case is ultimately resolved in court.
