Unpopular speech is still free speech

May 3, 2011 |(7) comments

You know, a funny thing happened on the day, that we all learned the death of Osama bin Laden. This was the exact legal protection, which is set up for young Americans in harm's way to our tens of thousands of the concept of the journal. As the high relief of the event in question, one of the rights of the members of the service, which is fought: the freedom to maintain.


Not only the freedom of another group-talk or banalities. Not only the freedom to win place in Facebook. But the voice of the unpopular and offensive ideas of freedom. And it is, what is represented by May 1.


Such an unpopular speech writer has been a Milwaukee County reserve judge Russell Stamper, who sounded on Facebook, in questioning propriety killing bin Laden, to indicate the item or account in his distaste for American institutions such as the CIA, DEA, FBI and the IRS, and challenging the notion that anyone knows for certain bin Laden was behind the plate for 11 attacks.


I am not writing this column to defend what the Stamper had to say. Defend the right to speak his mind, which, otherwise, in writing, otherwise, in spite of her on Facebook, is one of the brightest Milwaukee County on the desktop. But he has the right and to follow their own bench-intellectual property and the queries, where they can take him out.


This is not a Stamper: n first sought public and political outrage in the country. He has, from time to time, orally and in a variety of topics, people vomited. Yet throughout it all, I have never heard talk of intemperate word wise man.


I appeared in the courtroom, his scores on several occasions, and never heard him sound in the politically tinged comments all in the context of the procedure. He is evenhanded and has rarely, if encountered by the left in the unprepared lawyer or attempting to pay the costs of the people to him. His decisions are closely linked, they follow the law and he also plays favorites.


Until one day and the day has to sit out the year watching the individual judges to limit in any way to know who the fruitcakes are open to the public. Those whose courtroom behavior and abuse, the solutions are so Nutty or stupid defies description. Some of these are actually among the transport of dangerous goods, which, from a sense of personal animus rule for the person, persons or classes of the world towards the General. Stamper has none of the above; and his work in such a way as to affect the date does not affect the performance of his various public, off-the-bench outbreaks päähänpistoista.


General information, such as a Close family member of mine was involved in the County, of which I have absolutely no say and don't listen to it if I tried to share the relevant reserve judges. That having been said, all of you to seriously there breathing fire, the lockstep, stop and watch some of the judges were selected and then y'all informed decision as to who has earned right to throw away the bench.
