Oklahoma state lawmaker Sally Kern has had to obtain legal representation in the wake of a barrage of tens of thousands of hate-filled emails and threatened lawsuits after she spoke publicly about the dangers of the radical homosexual agenda.

During a recent speech at a Republican club meeting, Sooner State Representative Sally Kern said she was concerned that the homosexual agenda would destroy the nation and that the threat the movement poses is as big a threat to the nation as terrorism. She also told how young public school children are being indoctrinated into believing that the homosexual lifestyle is normal.

Reaction to her speech, which was posted on YouTube, was swift from homosexual activists. Kern said she received more than 27,000 emails to her office and home computers, many of them filled with profanity and vulgarity. ..."Really [it's] a ploy to try to intimidate Representative Kern in particular, and the state legislature in Oklahoma in general, to try to get these laws passed that favor them and end up criminalizing Christianity," he says.

Rooney explains that in addition to defending Kern's right to free speech, the Law Center wants to deliver a message to those threatening the lawmaker.

actually no, we studied the concept in law school when discussing what has now become known as “slap suits”.

Of course back then it was discussed in ETHICS class and how such tactics are purely unethical and would result in immediate sanctions against the attorney filing such an action.

Once you get out in the real world lawyers, even back then, learned real fast judges do not sanction lawyers for inconvenience suits.

what happens when some groups have access to the government and others do not?

Here we have homosexual promotion groups which are allowed access to schools, access to politicians, public spaces while equal access by non-recreational sex groups is not politically equally permitted by the government. Essentially they are acting for their government.

You don’t get freedom of speech in order to surpress freedom of speech for others.

This woman is a member of government. I assume she has access.
