Should be interesting to follow, I doubt office holders have any such protection from being ‘annoyed’ but stranger things have happened.

How the Feds Target the Innocent" by means of the ever-increasing broad and vague federal laws that allow prosecutors to pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, even for the most seemingly innocuous behavior. Been going on for decades if not longer.
Best line of defense against federal prosecution is staying out of the radar screen OR painting such a big picture that not even the feds would dare punish you.
Anything in between and you are toast.
The ol' "gray area" promoters are the ones who should take heed, those of us "black and white" thinkers already know better.

because of e-mails he sent to the Web site of U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky.
The entire story does not mention what the complainant specifically said or was complaining about
This story may not be about a citizens innocuous complaint. Or is it innocuous at all? Details please.

It looks like Senator Bunning or one of his staff must have turned this guy in. THEY should KNOW better!

I’d like to know more than what Huffington and others are telling us...
1. I’m guessing there was more to the emails than just the one innocent one cited.
2. On the other thread they said the guy spent time in prison and had admitted to 35 burglaries.
3. No money for food but he has a computer, internet access, TV, and cable to watch C-Span?

‘Here is part of his Feb. 26 messages to Bunning staffers: “Are you’all insane. No checks equal no food for me. Do you get it?” ‘
This is all I’ve seen. Obviously, there is more out there.

I often am annoyed by my senator, Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,.... Most of the country have been annoyed only once by this self righteous bigot on an ongoing basis of course.

It sounds like a set up to pin the trial on Jim Bunning...a Republican so that it could be used against him in the next election. Since Bunning comes from a conservative state, this could cost him some votes. Bunning needs to appear at the trial and say, “look the man criticized me but I did not feel harrassed or threatened”.
This could blow up in unning’s face!

It’s interesting that the “regime” doing this violation of free speech travesty are the ones who invented protesting, and civil disobedience, back in the 60’s and 70’s.

I would say that it’s ludicrous for the courts to be drawing distinctions between “electronic” speech and spoken words but I’m, uh, well, I’m posting here on an electronic message board and it’s, um, well...gosh. What were we talking about?
