The problem I have with the British case is the lawyers are going too far: I don't believe suppressing the publication of Question in Parliament is legitimate, and they certainly have no right (or power, in my view) to forbid Parliament from discussing anything. But this is a very unique case—and hopefully, it'll remain unique.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-17378406501325278262009-10-20T13:23:38.048+13:002009-10-20T13:23:38.048+13:00I guess the problem with the British court story i...I guess the problem with the British court story is that I tend to think that American trials have too damn much pre-trial publicity, with major ramifications.

It may become increasingly more unlikely to maintain, but I certainly support it conceptually.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
