John Doe, Rachel Ehrenfeld, & Fairness Doctrine
Do Americans have the right to raise alarm about potential terrorist threats to their safety, or governmental designs upon their property?
That’s what the John Doe protection that Congressional Democrats just scuttled is about. That’s what the legal battle that Rachel Ehrenfeld is fighting is about. That’s what the defense of free air waves is about.
Powerline attorney John Hinderaker brings us up to date on the 304-121 House approval of protection for citizens from lawsuits when they report suspicious behavior to the authorities, dropped from the Homeland Security bill by conferees.
Robert Spencer brings us up to date about Rachel Ehrenfeld’s resistance to a Saudi billionaire funder of terrorists’ efforts to silence her through court costs intimidation.
Ed Morrissey brings us up to date about Norm Coleman’s confrontation of Democrats’ efforts to silence conservative talk radio’s market-based popularity.
In all three instances, and many more, if analysis or criticism of powerful or incumbant interests are silenced, we are all not only silenced but, often and dangerously, put at grave mortal and personal risk.
The First Amendment is not a political nicety.
