Am. Freedom Law Center v. Dana Nessel

Summary

The Sixth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Michigan officials because the American Freedom Law Center failed to produce evidence establishing Article III standing. The organization did not show that the officials' press release caused incremental reputational harm, that it suffered economic injury traceable to the release, or that it had a sufficiently specific diversion-of-resources injury. The court also held that the organization forfeited its diversion theory by failing to raise it in its opening brief.
