Go check out Ed’s flailing attempt to answer this throttling and his bleating sycophants who have circled the wagons around him. Look at the comments section for my answer to his blubbering.

I agree that Fatheaded Ed Brayton is a lousy two-faced hypocrite. For crying out loud (Fatheaded Ed’s trademark expression), he kicked me off his blog permanently just because he disagreed with my literal interpretation of a federal court rule — and BTW he did not even give me a single chance to respond to his objection to my interpretation. And since then this despicable BVD-clad blogger has not given me any chance to respond to personal attacks that he makes against me on his blog.

One of Ed’s specialties is nitpicking and hairsplitting pettifoggery. For example, he tries to make a distinction between “reasonable criticism” and “bat[edited] wingnuttery” — but the “bat[edited] wingnuttery” is often just truthful “zealous advocacy.”

And you are right about the ACLU. Even when the ACLU’s priorities prevent the ACLU from directly participating in lawsuits that the ACLU supposedly supports, the ACLU could just give moral support to those lawsuits but often fails to do so. I found that out when the ACLU of Southern California refused to even just make a public statement against California’s grossly unconstitutional $300 “smog impact fee” on out-of-state vehicles (this fee was collected for about 8-9 years and was struck down by the state courts and most victims then got refunds). In contrast, the ACLU was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against an unconstitutional Florida tax on out-of-state vehicles.

Of course, I would like to post this comment on Fatheaded Ed’s blog but cannot.
