I don't have to play by your "rules".
I've already engaged with the miscreant over the course of several weeks, FYI.
And BTW - you and Governor Shinyface and your doormat Michigan Pubbies deserve each other.

Sorry, just name them,,,,,,,You accused them, so name them.
What is a journalist.
Because they have destroyed a lot of our heritage, we are faced with new situations.
This same “journalist” ALSO interferes in police investigations.
You tell me how we get back to our heritage which worked.
I’ve never liked you, so I’m just going to ignore you and your defense of NeverTrumpers.
That's the least you can do.
I'm ok with that. But it's a lame excuse why you don't answer my question in post #21......
It's not only lame, it's a complete cop out since you can't name them.........Sheesh, what a loser.
Absolutely AGREE. 💯

Nobody cares.......

Not mine, FR's....Obviously you've learned nothing in your 27 years here........
Buh-bye.
Get lost loser.....
I’m sure these fascist cops and the bozo judge would’ve had no problem arresting Thomas Paine for writing “Common Sense.”
That county needs a constitutional sheriff to correct the gestapo cops and corrupt judge.
Don’t ask members of this forum to violate the rules of the forum.
I have always been of the opinion that every citizen is a journalist. I do remember my days of being a card carrying radio news reporter. That card allowed special priveledges and entry to areas not always accessible to the public.
As for naming of victims of crimes or accidents. There is no law that I know of that one has to wait until next of kin is notified. It was always done out of “kindness” Vicitms of rape or sexual assualt were hidden behind a veil to protect their reputation. Even though a woman was a victim, there were always some in society that believed that she must had “had it coming” for one stupid reason or another.
While I feel that there is no need for laws to protect victims identities, etc, I do believe that the tradition of with holding the names of victims of certain assulats as well as the names of the deceased until their families can be notified. Society needs a certain sense of decorum—
Banana republic?
Prior restraint means they can’t stop you from publishing it. They didn’t come after her here until she published.
Still a violation of her constitutional rights. Just not prior restraint.
I’m not arguing that other of her rights were not violated. What I am arguing is that the law in question is a form of prior restraint. It is against Texas law to ask the government a question. If you can’t ask the question, you can’t obtain and publish the answer. It is the functional equivalent to prior restraint.
This law has never been used to prosecute anyone, ever. It was certainly retaliation. Many rights of hers were violated and there is no question that publishing in a blog for profit is not different than publishing in Hustler magazine; meaning no matter how mean or vulgar the story may be written, it is still protected.
The fenceline:
“violating an obscure Texas law, § 39.06(c), that prohibits soliciting ‘nonpublic information’ if done ‘with intent to obtain a benefit.’”
On the other side, is Google and many others, that “collect” - if you somehow agree to their Terms of Service.
Whether soliciting or collecting, the purpose of the law, is that your non-public (ie private) info, ought not be taken for their (solicitor’s or Google’s) benefit - without your being aware and approving.
