I'm not sure I agree with the "contempt of court" charge, here. Note to self: resist the urge to ever do the same thing...

in college, when i made about 3 grand, i wrote a check to the IRS with "for killing innocent babies" in the memo line.
never heard a peep from them.

Isn't that freedom of speech? I can't believe they'd put forth the time and effort to charge him with contempt. Gutsy guy....I like him!

He is just telling it like it is.
He has a First Amendment right to do so.
If the check is good the State has no complaint.
Write me a good one and I could care less what you put in the remarks.

I'm looking at my check. It says "for__________________" If he had put speeding, could that have been used as an admission of guilt?"

it would have taken too much effort to do so.
In this case, I have to side with the ACLU. Even a blind squirrel gets it right once.

I kinda' think there is a free speech argument that could be made about that memo line.

I don't see why this could be considered a crime. Personally, I think that the guy is a sign of the times--an example of rudeness overtaking our society. On the other hand, the courts really need to keep their eye on the ball. They've got a lot of problems to deal with that are more significant than this one, and let's face it, they've earned the level of disrespect they've gotten.

I send in my IRS check every year with a memo on the bottom that says..."f*cking thieves!"
They always cash it. ;)

If he had the words "Bull $hit Money Grab" printed on all his checks would he still be in trouble?
