That’s fine - the law never applies to minorities.

Well I hate to bring it up but, after 9/11, I seem to recall Bush asking or instructing Americans to be vigilent and to report ANY suspicious activity. I see that Chertoff has repeated said instructions. Now how the hell can one be sued for following the orders of the President of the United States???

Yes, these type of “disclaimers” by CAIR, are a flacid PR stunt.

Their every other action is in sympathy with the terrorists.

This CAIR rep is talking about “SLAP” suits.

These are suits made to sue someone to shut them up.

If you are sued in Federal Court it is not cheep even if you are 110% not liable.

If CAIR sues a john doe, AS PART OF THE FILING FEE, they should be required to post a 15,000 dollar bond (adjusted annually) which SHALL go to the John Doe lawyer fees and is non refundable.

If CAIR loses these suits they should pay all attorneys fees.Also the judges hearing these suits should follow the laws and if they find the suits frivolous they should pay a fine.

There needs to be a rider in the bill stating that anyone who tries to sue in this capacity is open to paying for the other's legal bills plus emotional expense.

"These are suits made to sue someone to shut them up."

I saw that Ibraham guy from CAIR being grilled by tucker carlson and he as much as admitted this. He said you have to determine intent (whether defendant acted in bad faith) through discovery. That's NOT the standard. When you file you have to allege the defendant acted in bad faith and by signing the complaint you are certifying you already have a good faith basis to believe this is true.

Every state has frivolous lawsuit statutes and Federal Courts have Rule 11 which provides for sanctions for frivolous lawsuits. Anyone sued should be able to conduct discovery first and make the plaintiff put up all the evidence they have supporting their contention the defendant acted in bad faith. If there is nothing there - case dismissed and plaintiff pays all defendant's attorney fees. And the plaintiff's attorney is liable for the fees if the plaintiff can't or won't pony up. That would end these real fast.

We have passed beyond the usefulness of law. Law only functions when there is general consensus as to what it should be.

In the absence of consensus we are left with... Military coup or civil war.

CAIR is a de facto terrorist front group. OF COURSE, the organization opposes any action designed to enhance security or protect our people against hijacking or other forms of terrorism.

The problem is judges are VERY hesitant to issue rule 11 sanctions.

In fact part of the problem is that judges are literally protecting political supporters for their potential assential to the appeals courts. Just because a federal judge has tenure does not mean he does not they can not be held hostage to their own egos. So much for judicial independence of the federal courts.

I think a John Doe should get his attorney’s fees paid up front and win or lose to discourage such SLAP suits.

The plaintiff will make a motion to supress any mention of 9/11 or any terrorist attack.

The judge fearing being accused of being un-politically correct will sustain the objection.
