It is important because if Chancellor Palpatine was OPH it means he is being protected. Protected by whom and from what?

Thank you for the warning (I think)>
If you posted this with the ongoing Schivo tragedy on your mind, let me state for the record that I believe Terri's family and therefore must call evil, evil.
Michael Shiavo and his attorney are monsters, imho. Evil, predatory and dangerous.

Since you seem to be offering legal advice, I have a question...
Lets assume an attorney showed up on FreeRepublic, and adopted a copyrighted screen name like, say, Winnie the Pooh. Normally that's not a big concern, but lets assume the attorney subsequently agreed to represent a client with a somewhat questionable reputation someone like Jack Kavorkian or Bill Clinton. And then lets assume that the attorney started representing Mr. Kavorkian (or Mr. Clinton ;>) in a professional manner, on FreeRepublic, while using the screen name Winnie the Pooh.
Heres the question: Do you think the owner of the Winnie the Pooh copyright might object? After all, the copyright owner makes money off the name Winnie the Pooh books, movies, action figures, etc. Im sure the owner would be interested in a license fee, at the very least, if an attorney set up a de facto Winnie the Pooh Online Law Office. Or perhaps the copyright owner would simply pursue legal action. Especially if the owner had his own team of attorneys on retainer, and considered the unapproved association with Jack Kavorkian (or Mr. Clinton ;>) to be harmful. And especially if the attorneys FreeRepublic home page was one of the top two listings provided by Google when an online search for Winnie the Pooh was conducted.
Actually, you dont need to answer. The scenario isnt very realistic. Most attorneys would recognize the risks involved: they might be spotted by a representative of the copyright owner who happens to post at FreeRepublic, or reported to the copyright owner by a Winnie the Pooh fan (an especially likely event, if they had attempted to intimidate any Winnie the Pooh fans ;>). The risks would outweigh the benefits, dont you think?

He went that-a-way and she went-this-a-way only works if nobody is watching. The last two weeks have been an orgy of self-promotion which should at last becoming self-defeating if not embarassing.
If you and Bob can't answer a simple question with a degree of credibility then perhaps you should refrain from joining in the debate.

Neets, I know you like the fellow, but he is really mean for no good reason to LOTS and LOTS of freepers. Double-check your feelings on him. Just cuz he's nice to you doesn't mean he's nice.Neets, I take this back. I was reminded by my chick of a friendship *I* have with a Forum Pricktm. She pointed out the hypocrisy in me asking you your justification when I had the exact same issue.
Wise chick, that one. I think I'll keep her. :^D

I think the copyright on Winnie the Pooh has expired. However,...
To: Neets
Ah, well, I was actually hoping to figure all this out by asking. Seems to be a lot of inside baseball being played here, leaving poor old me in the dark. Again. ;)

I'll tell you something else, there are a lot of real world conservative activists who work everyday to return the constitution to it's owners, and when they see this display of petulant, nasty baloney from the people they believe they are working to help, they think...
Why?

I do not post at LP nor do I read the site. I believe Neil McIver is every bit as sincere as Jim Robinson but has associated with some very unstable characters like Goldi-lox. You seem to know more about LP than anyone you've accused of being there. Who are you there? unamused?
