Daniel J Kornstein and his co-counsel Mark Platt were the driving force behind the most consequential free-speech legislation this century.
Dan and Mark's most important client in the last decade or so was Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose book Funding Evil happened to include rather more details of Khalid bin Mahfouz's bankrolling of al-Qaeda than the Saudi billionaire cared to have revealed to the world. So he sued her in a London court. Dan and Mark got Dr Ehrenfeld to countersue in New York to prevent Mahfouz from ever collecting, and, when the court declined to acknowledge it had personal jurisdiction over Mahfouz, they got the legislature to take up the issue and pass "Rachel's Law".
This law prevents New York courts from enforcing libel judgments from other countries with lower standards of freedom-of-speech protection.
Good news!!!! I think Mark had to get the donations/funds before he could hire all this great legal talent. I still want to see Mark do some cross examination on Michael Mann (in court)
Mann has some phantom funders for his legal assault on Mark Steyn’s free speech rights. IOW this is not costing Mann much money unless Steyn sues him for damages
