    Bump for the morning. The other thread point here got locked so a little nudge to get it started. Myself, jar or whomever else who shows up at the courthouse will post here once we are out of the comms free zone.

    Tom, good luck. My chapter and I wish Alan the best.
    If you ask me, there's something hypocritical and tragic about so-called libertarians and free-thinkers demeaning others for "outing themselves." Those who do so criticize not simply the content of the differing opinion, but attempt use informal social control to curtail the very act of speaking.

    The "out yourself" poster believes in free mindedness only insofar as others agree with them. All else should be silenced by the mob. Which in the end is no belief in free mindedness at all.

    The First Circuit does not stream audio or video. We're hoping to have a copy of the audio to post at some point.

    Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself....
    you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"
