To: Jaded; Congressman Billybob; All
In all fairness to Congressman Billybob, he is a very busy man and likely has not followed the case nearly as closely as many who post on these threads. That said, one ought to be very careful to rush to discount his opinion about this case.
He is a very intelligent and smart lawyer who is widely known and respected throughout the legal community. If I recall correctly, Congressman Billybob was invited by the U.S. Supreme Court to submit an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the Bush v. Gore case regarding the First Amendment issues and his brief pretty much served as the foundation of the USSC's decision and opinion.
Congressman Billybob is also part of a group of First Amendment lawyers that are working to get the unconstitutional campaign finance reform legislation declared unconstitutional.
When it comes to First Amendment issues, Congressman Billybob is THE MAN!
Many of you would do well to check out the links he posts in his replies.

So what. He said what he said, and I know what I know. He has called for a man's death. He demonstrated his COMPLETE IGNORANCE OF THE CASE IN HIS POST.
There is considerably more solid evidence that he is a lynchmob @sshole than there is that Westerfield is a murderer.
The fact that he is a well-connected crook lawyer has nothing to do with his arrogant assignment of an innocent man to death row.
I RECOMMEND THAT NOBODY CLICK A LINK HE POSTS. The jerk just wants 0.1 cents from a banner ad impression, and publicity for his show.
I'll certainly make it a point to remind him of his remarks when the hysteria dies down and the facts of this case finally penetrate the wall of hysteria and disinformation created by the media.
