The Friends won a minor victory in the courtroom today as our motion to (s)quash a subpoena was granted by an Orange County Superior Court judge. The subpoena would have compelled us to reveal identifying information of a blog commenter to an Anaheim city employee, who is suing an anonymous John Doe for defamation.
Quash. Such a cool word.
A series of arguments filed just before the hearing centered on the inherent nature of Friends for Fullerton’s Future itself. Is it a business, an unincorporated association, a global shadow conspiracy, or just an Internet domain? The judge didn’t want to go there. And really, who can blame him?
Congratulations. I wanted to do the same thing on this end. But I was pre-quashed.
Thanks Vern.
Congrats!
Get down 4F!
Well, I was hoping that it will be your face up there, instead of that torta, Bushala.
Why?
Because you like to enjoy the first amendment but don’t want to pass it to others via your blog.
Next time!
