The 9th Circuit needs to be broken up.

[James W. Fannin]

Free speech may be a thing of the past?

[Alexander Rubin]

Someone has to do something about that 9th circuit court.

I don't like the Ninth Circus, but after reading the opinion, I have to disagree with the characterization of the article. The Ninth Circus did not call it hate speech. What they said was that the only act complained of was that administrators had torn down a flyer the complainants had posted on the wall at work, and that act by itself is "vanishingly small" in terms of the effect it has on free speech.

Too bad, though, that the hypocritical Ninth Circus only implements the "de minimis" doctrine when it's conservatives who are complaining about things, and they make Constitutional cases out of liberal complaints of a similar import.

I believe we are in the last days - the GOP is nothing more than a dem light party and Bush has no balls to do whats right - he cares more about globalism than the US. It will take Christians standing together, even under the threat of arrest to do whats right - the republican party is not our salvation it is our faith in the almighty and our belief in our God given rights regardless of the consequences.

The homosexual life style and global warming and evolution are all part of a secular religion which is fast becoming established in violation of the 1st amendment. It won't fly to argue that the Christians are under seige. It is the establishment of this state religion which is the true threat to all people of faith.

Ping to Christian Attorneys and legal eagles.

Sorry if you were not included. I don't have a list.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

NO KIDDING.

That bears repeating.

"Public employees are permitted to curtail employee speech as long as their 'legitimate administrative interests' outweigh the employee's interest in freedom of speech," said the court's opinion by judges B. Fletcher, Clifton and Ikuta, who noted that their writings are "not appropriate for publication."

This just follows the same logic as affirmative action? Why should we be surprised? The rights of self-proclaimed minorities trump the Constitution.

[P-Marlowe]

This is all a natural consequence of anti-discrimination statutes and rules. We used to have a constitutional amendment which prohibited the government from infringing upon a person's right to express themselves. We now have created, without the necessity of going through the Amendment process, a constututional right not to be offended by the speech of others. In other words if your speech offends me because I am a blackhispanicasianwomanhomosexualjewishmuslimhindubuddhistfatskinnybaldingobnoxious limprwritstedgirlyman, and you are not, then you have no constitutional right to express yourself in my company or anywhere where I might accidentally overhear your conversations.

The 9th Circus strikes again.

My bet, the Supremes will strike this one down unanymously, or at worst 7-2(Ginsburg and Souter)...
