Gag Order [Ninth Circuit: free speech depends upon minority status]

TCS ^ | 7/19/6 | Lawrence Siskind

[goldstategop]

The Left is trying to outlaw conservative views, which are of course "offensive." Just voicing a non-liberal opinion in the earshot of a minority is enough to get you in trouble.

Is there any wonder WHY the democrats are so fixated on retaining their "60-votes-needed-majority" in the Senate ....

That's the ONLY way they can continue the liberals/socialists/internationalists domination of the court system.

[IrishMike]

That was a troublesome thread to read.
That 9th circus is a problem.

That 9th circus is a problem.

I'm curious as to how often their rulings are overturned by the USSC.

I heard somewhere (I believe it may have been Rush) that the 9th circus is over turned more than all other circuits
......... COMBINED.
Don't have % or actual #'s.
However Rush is right 98.5 or 99% of the time.

Interesting that I keep hearing the left whine about freedoms being taken and yet here is the liberal courts doing it. How typical.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is another bullsh*t decision from the Ninth Circus (excuse me, Circuit) Court of Appeals. Given the membership of that court, I don't expect an en banc review, if granted, to do anything about this baseless, unconstitutional decision.

However, there is the point that the Ninth Circus is the most reversed Court of Appeals in the nation. This decision is a prime candidate to be reversed by the US Supreme Court.

P.S. Interested in a Freeper in Congress? Keep in touch with me.

This is Idiotic enough to eventually become the Law of The Land..

Free speech for me but not for thee.

Is this surprising?? The 9th Circus has just exposed another liberal lie and thinks nobody will notice. They are partly right......no big newspaper will report on it so most people will not find out about preferential treatment in freedom of speech.

[geezerwheezer]

I think you would have been 100% correct five years ago, but with the internet and FR folks, and lots of other conservative offerings on the internet, this story will be all over the place overnight. I don't get my news from the newspapers, just local ads and local stories. I learn most of what I call "hard news" on the internet, and there are millions just like me. That is why the MSM is dying on the vine. As far as the 9th Circuit, chances are they will be reversed over 90% of the time. They are all nuts in California, and the inmates are running the asylum there.

A great amount of the success of "minority" comedians can be attributed to thier unhindered "freedom of expression". Much more "sensitive issue material" which really can hit the funnybone within us. They are allowed to be more "wide open". A white comedian, on the other hand..............

[gcruse]

In order to solve this conundrum, it is necessary to recognize that each is the victim of someone else. It is a closed loop.

Therefore, victimhood for everyone, a cafeteria of entitlements, reparations, reverse discrimination and segregated college 'clubs.'

Perquisites for each in his turn.

Call it... a circle perk.

[expatpat]

SCOTUS won't stand for this.

[7thson]

I just got finished reading stuff from The Onion. Then I come over here and read this trash. Only, it is not from The Onion. It is real. Or unreal.

[rennatdm]

Agreed....Discrimination begets discrimination. We just can't fall for it.

[originalbuckeye]

Agree. I am talking about the masses who are not connected to the Internet. I know lots of people who have a computer but don't use it for news. My dilemma is that even though it will be on Fox News, I doubt if half the country will be informed about this ruling.

PS-I hope the MSM does die on the vine. They are not in the business of telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

[gcruse]

The only recollection I have of a white comedian being censored was Sam Kinnison, whose piece was censored by Saturday Night Light. Guess what, it was about Jesus. I doubt the left did anything other than cave to the right on that one.

Heard the other day about a teacher in California whose contract for next year is being terminated because she is "not bilingual". She is--only problem German is the other language she is fluent in--not Spanish.

Seems to me that she--and any other teachers fired because they do not speak Spanish--have a heckuva good prima facie case for Title VII class action discrimination complaint on the basis of national origin (reverse discrimination). She was also told that if she fought her firing, she would never get another teaching job in the state. Retaliation for filing an EEO complaint is also unlawful under Title VII. But I bet the 9th circuit would rule against any such lawsuit in a heartbeat!

Would love to know if the removal of this teacher on the basis of not being bilingual is an isolated case, or if it is happening in other places in California.

Between 1990 and 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down 73% of the 9th Circuit’s rulings, while other circuit courts averaged only 46% reversals. In 1997, for example, the Supreme Court overturned 27 out of 28 of the 9th Circuit Court decisions. The reversal rate for the 9th Circuit in the 2004-2005 term was 84 percent, the highest since the 1990-2000 terms. Of the 19 9th Circuit cases that went to the SC, 16 were overturned, and in 10 of the 16 reversals, the vote was unanimous.
