Fighting the Machine: Defamation, Derision, Libel, and Ridicule under the First Amendment (LR #34)

Darrell McClanahan discusses his political campaigns in Missouri, and his recent heroic suit against the Anti-Defamation League in Federal Court. Troy Scheffler rejoins with his practical perspectives on Legal Realism, and in particular argues the rhetoric and rituals of law with me and Sam. Troy is a New Star of Legal Realism! Today (Wednesday, 27 December, the Third Day of Christmas) was the Feast of St. John to Apostle, author of the Fourth and most mystical of all the Gospels of Jesus Christ. Tomorrow is in Remembrance of the Holy Innocents. Friday is St. Thomas à Becket---and Five Golden Rings.
