In follow up to our "Libel or Litigation" post directly below, we thank our frequent contributor Hum for the comment to that post. Considering the poignant irony of the timing as well as the gravitas of the Supreme Court's opinion in light of Mr. Carter's letter to the state elections supervisor, we thought we'd share a link HERE to the New York Times editorial from yesterday to which Hum referred us. For the more adventurous amongst you, you can view Chief Justice Robert's full June 24, 2010 Supreme Court opinion HERE.
One more point. Does it not seem garishly disengenuous that the same guy who told The Islander "This is also about the Sunshine laws and being transparent in government,” back when he was whipping his recall posse into a clip-board frenzy, has now suddenly developed a distaste for open records and transparency in a process as fundamental to our democracy as elections? Ask yourself this the next time they ring your door bell or wave you over to their pop-up tent: What's the real agenda here because it sure ain't "about" sunshine and transparency, now is it? Nope, not even close.
Stay informed.
