Difficult to get but I still would not want the doors of the courthouse closed on threat of ‘loser pays’ no matter what.
S/he’d have a much better chance filing that suit in Canada.
He’s just following the “Constitutional right to not be offended” to its logical conclusion. In other countries, ministers have been convicted of “hate” for verbally teaching that homosexual behavior is sinful, so why not go after a publisher, under our deranged liability system?
There was one case in Canada in 2001, and one in America (Idaho, I think in 2004) where biblical verses were accepted by the courts as "hate literature" when placed in certain contexts. Hey, according to Supreme Court logic, those prior decisions constitute strong arguments in favor of criminalizing the bible.
Is there still a First Amendment?
He does make me chuckle. I have 2 Zondervan Bibles at home and one on the truck, I may just go buy another for the office.
Neal Boortz wrote a while back that losers leave the office at 5 and winners stay and get the work done. I left at 5 every day last week so I feel slighted anyone know a good lawyer?
Article says he is representing himself. Judge is going to toss this case out in short order.
Yesterday, a U.S. District Judge refused to appoint an attorney to represent Fowler in the Thomas Nelson case, saying the court "has some very genuine concerns about the nature and efficacy of these claims andCase dismissed!
Geoffery Fieger will take anything.
A typical rump rider. Move along.
“It’s version”?????Is this guy really dumb enough to think each publisher produces a Bible that says what the publisher wants it to say?
Zondervan needs to file a counter-suit claiming discrimination! Homo-ism is cast as a sin in the Quran also! This idiot is only suing the Bible!
Frankly this is laughable - or would be if you couldn't see the future writ large in it.
Like someone said - “The love that dare not speak it's name to the love that won't shut up in just 15 years!”

Even without FRCP 11, the successful defendant in this case will have a cause of action for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. Unfortunately, its got to bear a boat load of expense in the meanwhile and then face the very probable fact that losers like this have no assets subject to execution.
..........in further news, Fowler is said to be contemplating legal action against a local supplier of door hardware. He claims to have been walking past the store recently, and upon looking through the window, noticed an employee polishing a knob. He claims the sight made him “uncomfortable”.
What audacity: the suit seeks to make the Bible illegal.
Just noticed your tag line .......because, I’ve been thinking for some time now,”The ACLU seems to be saying, the constitution is unconstitional.”
