parties appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of California, which on 3rd March
2000 upheld the lower court decision. The Circuit Court Judge, in affirming the lower
court decision, made certain statements that are highly pertinent to the performance of
Tamil activists in the US. The Circuit Judge Kozinski, said, “The
statute does not prohibit being a member of one of the designated groups or vigorously
promoting and supporting the political goals of the group. Plaintiffs are even free
to praise the groups for using terrorism as a means of achieving their ends. What
AEDPA prohibits is the act of giving material support, and there is no constitutional
right to facilitate terrorism by giving terrorists the weapons and explosives...” “Plaintiffs
here do not contend
they are prohibited from advocating the goals of the foreign terrorist
organizations, espousing their views or even being members of such groups. They can
do so without fear of penalty...”
