Local 375, Plumbers Int’l Union of Am., AFL-CIO, 860 F.2d 346, 350 (9th Cir. 1988), to succeed on its Freedom of Association claim; and (3) how Plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm and how the equities would balance if the Court were to find that the Attorney General’s request is preempted by federal law rather than unconstitutional under the first amendment.
