Supreme Court Lets Slide DOJ Intimidation, Silencing of Siobhan Reynolds
Monday, November 15th, 2010I’ve got nothing here. Call it outrage fatigue, I guess.
It’s just sad.

Damn. If you ever develop permanent outrage fatigue, America is seriously in trouble.
More trouble, I mean.
The governments SUCKS plain and simple.
….outrage fatigue.
Radley, I have great admiration for all that you do with regard to pointing out injustices and wrong doing by our overlords. It truly is cause for fatigue when viewed over the long haul. There are days when I walk away from the monitor and want to “hoist the black flag and start slitting throats” as Mencken said. The outrages continue. The lawlessness goes on. The corruption grows deeper by the minute. Are we to submit? Never!
Get some rest. Breathe deeply the cool Autumn air. Life can be beautiful despite the scum that pervades every level of government. We can only hope that Dante was correct and there are special places in hell for all whom violate their oaths, squander trust, abuse authority.
In the end, rest assured that your work has not gone un-noticed and has in fact, given others who have suffered injustice some hope of a brighter day.
Thanks for your hard work even though it seems futile sometimes.
I keep saying it, but they don’t seem to listen: If they take away all legal recourse against tyranny, all we’re left with is illegal recourse against tyranny. I don’t think they’ll like that option very much.
I can only imagine the outrage fatigue you must have given the amount I feel as a daily reader.
Keep it up Radley, you’re an important man in the struggle against excessive government power.
#4: “I keep saying it, but they don’t seem to listen: If they take away all legal recourse against tyranny, all we’re left with is illegal recourse against tyranny. I don’t think they’ll like that option very much.”
They love it when people with legitimate complaints resort to violence. “See? The only people who care about civil liberties are the terrorists. Now spread ‘em wide; you’re not allowed onto this bus until your cavity search is completed, and my hands are getting colder by the minute.”
WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks!
And if that doesn’t work, a generous application of hot tar and chicken feathers upon the deserving parties would be a nice turn.
Psion, for some reason I get an error when I try to give you a thumbs-up (that’s what she said) but this. These docs need to be published AND the judge and prosecutor need to get tarred, feathered, and run out of town (or preferably the country) on a rail.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” JFK
So the First Amendment just took three bullets, all center-mass:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
There are obvious free speech issues here. The idea that a citizen can be persecuted by the government and not be able to simply talk about it is mind boggling. And disgusting.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Press can’t talk about it either.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The highest court in the land, the last chance and last refuge for constitutional issues and challenges, has refused to hear the case, so all attempts to petition the Government for a redress of grievances have been summarily dismissed, denied, or found wanting by that same government, and the one body of that government who should come down on the side of the citizen has decided to remain quiet.
That’s three shots, and the issue is what – not big enough or important enough for them to address? This bodes very ill for any and all acts of disagreeing with the government. Don’t be too vocal about it, or it’s ruinous subpoenas and a campaign of intimidation and coercion in your future – that is the clear message here.
I sincerely hope that all the details of this case show up on the net in some way that is impossible for a US court to shut down.
