Quote of the day—Erica Goldberg
Although some government officials may wish otherwise, protected speech is called "protected" for a reason. The courts will safeguard it at the financial peril of those who violate the Constitution. Parody cannot be criminalized, and those who create parody cannot be treated as criminals.

Quote of the Day

Sure, I don’t have the authority to rule on parliamentary procedures of the legislative body; and sure, the dude who brought the case had no real standing. And yes, I realize that I will almost certainly be overturned on appeal, now that the union goons were unable to steal a state supreme court election.
But fuck it. I didn’t become a judge to protect the status quo. Being a liberal judge means protecting the people, and in this case, it means protecting the people — who accidentally installed a conservative into the statehouse — from themselves. Or, to put it another way, THE LAW BELONGS TO ME!
