A rare case of a Federal Judge being sensible. No right is absolute and inciting people to terrorize someone is clearly beyond the pale.

If they were harassing her over anything at all, it’s not free speech. Overtly anti-Semitic harassment even moreso.

The right to free speech is absolute. Facing the consequences for your speech is what the ‘left’ wants removed.

As I noted in an earlier post, this is a civil not criminal case. The First Amendment isn't an issue. As to his specific allegations, his defense would be their truthfulness, not an imaginary right to say whatever he wishes free of financial consequences. As the the organization of the troll storm, I suspect in most states that sort of ongoing harassment and intimidation would be criminal. But that's another issue
