An ultraconservative group plans to petition the Supreme Court to permit secret recordings of conversations following a ruling by a federal appeals court. The Ninth Circuit upheld an Oregon law that prohibits such recordings, stating that the law is constitutional and serves the state's interest in ensuring residents are aware when their conversations are being recorded. This decision was made by a split panel, which found the statute to be narrowly tailored. The case is part of broader discussions regarding First Amendment rights and privacy laws, as well as ongoing debates around gun rights, with the Supreme Court also set to consider various gun-related cases.
