Plaintiff is a left-wing wackjob.

Defendant is a right-wing wackjob.

Neither is much of a credit to his cause.

True enough, but the First Amendment doesn’t permit a set of different rules for wackjobs.

It’s speech that we don’t like which is in most need of protection in today’s PC society. Above all else, it’s the right to call a politician (or a wannabe politician) anything we want without fear of retribution or punishment.
And if you think that right isn’t in danger, ask the Army Reservist who just lost his job for daring to ask if The One is legally qualified to be president.

Naw, when it comes to free speech litigation, I always side with the Conservatives against the Leftwingtards, and so should you!
