The Supreme Court has refused to accept an appeal from Project Veritas, the investigative journalism organization founded by James O’Keefe, after an appeals court rejected the group’s First Amendment-based challenge to a Massachusetts law forbidding secret recordings.

If the justices had granted the petition, it would have been the first time the nation’s highest court had addressed the First Amendment implications of secret audio recordings, according to SCOTUSblog.
