WASHINGTON, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, April 18, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in United States v. Texas.

Both organizations will be present at the Court during oral arguments and will be available to discuss the day's proceedings and the legal and constitutional arguments for why the government's appeal should be rejected.
