Ah, the Southern Poverty Law Center is the group that is antagonistic to the 1100 pro-lifers whom I represented in criminal matters (without fee) when they were arrested shutting down abortion mills.

Oh, so you claim that you are a lawyer? Bull spit. A lawyer knows he has to prove his arguments and all you've done is post your claims and backed them up with nothing. As a lawyer...hehe...I'm sure that you know the definition of libel and slander. Tell me how those terms do not apply to what you've done here so far in your baseless attacks against Glenn Spencer of American Patrol and Chris Simcox of Civil Border Defense.

First, truth is a complete defense to any charge of defamation. Second, they are public figures and they are engaged in activity of a sort that allows for comment protected by the First Amendment. It was in all the lawbooks: New York Times vs. Sullivan: Near vs. Minnesota; the case by the Georgia football coach against Look magazine and many, many other cases.

Next, I have not mentioned Spencer or Simcox. Third, you cannot, under long pre-existing American law, libel or slander an organization. Finally, I did not mention either orgainzation.

My dog doesn't bite. He did not bite you. You weren't hurt by the bite. Shep was on the Arizona border chewing an illegale when you claimed to be bitten in Illinois. Besides, he was tied up in my Illinois backyard at the time. Furthermore I don't have a dog. Never did have one and I sold him last week. What do you mean by doubting my credentials as a lawyer? Isn't this paragraph proof enough for anyone. I am a recovering lawyer since I recognized the death of the rule of law but that's another story.

Oh, and I almost forgot, people who take it upon themselves to make "citizen's arrests" are taking upon themselves one of the functions of government and, in doing so, they also take on the burdens of not violating what police are not allowed to violate. They are also engaging in public activity which deprives them of any protection of defamation law (libel, slander or otherwise) since they become, for such purposes, public figures no less than sheriffs and police chiefs and patrol officers. See New York Times vs. Sullivan SCOTUS 1964.
