United States v. American Library Association, 539 U.S. 194 (2003), was a decision in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that the United States Congress has the authority to require public schools and libraries receiving E-Rate discounts to install web filtering software as a condition of receiving federal funding. In a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court ruled that: 1.) public libraries' use of Internet filtering software does not violate their patrons' First Amendment rights; 2.) The Children's Internet Protection Act is not unconstitutional.[1]
