Paging Colonel Hogan

I still want to know why an inmate of a German Stalag is pictured near a bridge in Asia. I don't believe they could get out and back between bedcheck and morning roll call making it to Asia on foot for a mission.
 

Right wing mouthbreather Pam Geller has filed a federal lawsuit against the United States government for enacting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which is a statute preventing people from suing websites who allow posters to criticize things they don't like.

Pam wants Section 230 to be declared unconstitutional so that she may sue Facebook, a private entity, for allowing comments critical of her beliefs.

The details are here

Nothing to do with "City Hall", and everything to do with wingnut butthurt. :rolleyes:

I never thought I'd say this, but "I'm with Rob on this one." On second thought, I'm with the DOJ. That's a lot more comfortable. ;)

Not only is Section 230 NOT extensible to the federal government as infringing on the First Amendment, I actually think Section 230 is wholly superfluous. It's like some person standing on your front lawn and allegedly committing a crime and you being jointly liable merely by virtue of his location. Do we really need a law to protect the homeowner from that?

I can't imagine website owners ever being liable for the words or acts of posters. Section 230 merely recognizes that with statutory protection. And as the cited "Motion to Dismiss" makes clear, the proper place to contest the substance of the affirmative defense which the statute creates is within the adjudication of a civil lawsuit that advances the defense. THAT is when and where you have your attorney move to disallow the defense on Constitutional grounds. You contest it at trial and work your way up the appeals process from there.

DOJ is correct that Geller has no standing to take the issue directly to federal court.
