A reminder that the consitutional issues of "Hit Man" and similar cases are reviewed in the Department of Justice's April 1997 report to Congress, "The Availability of Bombmaking Information, and the Extent to Which Its Dissemination May Be Subject to Regulation Consistent with the First Amendment to the United States Consitution": http://jya.com/abi.htm (196K)

Matters of Law
by Tim May 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Now that one level of the court system has ruled that the First Amendment does not protect Paladin Press against a lawsuit over its sale of the book "Hit Man," it may be timely to mention some of the issues. It is often claimed (here, too) that "anyone may sue." This is true. Just pay a filing fee, etc., and anyone can sue. Alice can sue Bob because he is reading "War and Peace." I can sue Suzie because I didn't like the color of the dress she wore. And so on, so the theory goes. However, the court system need not let the suit proceed. Many (most?) filed lawsuits are dismissed on "matters of law." Thus, Alice's lawsuit against Bob over Bob's choice of reading materials would be thrown out. (And the courts have even taken steps against those who have filed many frivolous lawsuits with the apparent intent of harassment. ) It is in this sense that today's court decision allowing the suit against Paladin to proceed is so pernicious. In a society where free speech and free dissemination of ideas is protected by the First Amendment, a lawsuit to stop others from reading or writing certain thoughts should be thrown out immediately. On a "matter of law." I'm not a lawyer, but my layman's understanding of "matter of law" is that an act must have some element of illegality under the criminal code, or under contract law, before a lawsuit can proceed. Thus, I cannot sue a restaurant because it chooses not to serve my favorite food, nor can Alice sue Bob over his choice of reading materials. Nor should anyone be allowed to sue Paladin Press when no evidence of illegality has been shown (Paladin was not implicated as a co-conspirator in the murder, and the book "Hit Man" is not illegal to sell). I expect the Paladin Press case will go to the Supreme Court now. I hope it does, at least. And it'll be interesting to see if the ACLU supports a politically incorrect case like this. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Re: 1st Ammendment Tossed in Paladin Case

Tim May wrote: >But in many ways, this is good news. The war is coming faster than I thought. WSJ reports today on the increasing conservatism of the military and disputes about the pretense of civilian control, with some officers calling for responsible action to compensate for societal breakdown. It cites several examples of military members preparing for war at home, as mentioned here earlier by Attila and others, with two Marine writers claiming that the next Somolia will be here. This, coupled with reports on LEA inheritance of military equipment and lavish civilian funding to fight terrorism, portends more than Jim Bell (Tim May?) -type sniper takeouts. Free fire zones may be in the offing, or surgical wasting of underground bunkers and germmakers (troublemakers). Wrathful Mars sees no innocents, so preaches the terrorist freedom warfighters pursuing a dream of winner take all, so sorry constitutional fundies, we're the warmonger biz.

I can sue Suzie because I didn't like the color of >the dress she wore. And so on, so the theory goes. YMMV, depending on locality. Some places require a lawyer to certify that the lawsuit has (in hir opinion) at least a reasonable chance of succeeding. That may not apply in small claims court, tho. >(And the courts have even taken steps against those who have filed many >frivolous lawsuits with the apparent intent of harassment. ) They can go after the aforementioned lawyers for this, too. One of Scientology's lawyers, Helena ("The Kobra") Kobrin, has been sanctioned for filing frivolous lawsuits on behalf of that cult.
