KingCast, Sandusky Register raise the dirty question of First Amendment persecution of Detroit Civil Rights lawyer Geoffrey Fieger.

By Christopher King

So this was supposed to be a funny post initially when Elsebeth asked me about the Fieger case in a community board from my homestate called the Sandusky Register. The post is called "Is America Getting Dumber?"

But there's nothing funny about this case and the answer to that question is yes in general, not in the specific. No sir, I believe that the 12 Jurors and the 3 Alternates who witness the persecution of High-Powered Michigan lawyer Geoffrey Fieger for John Edwards campaign contributions will notice all of the trip wires for malicious prosecution, selective prosecution and vindictive prosecution, all in a First Amendment Context.

I mention the First Amendment issues by way of illustration to Liko Kenney because Bruce McKay hated Liko Kenney because of his lineage (he tried to give Bode a traffic ticket based on hearsay) but he also showed retaliation to Liko because of First Amendment speech that the government (read: McKay) did not like. Read the comments for the excerpt. Here's some of the released McKay personnel documents after the KingCast v. Ayotte/Franconia litigation; review of his original dash cam video to follow.

I'm pulling for the Counselor and his legal team, which includes one Gerry Spence: The two books that had the biggest impact on me as a young teen were Alive (urgh).... and The Killing of Karen Silkwood (urgh again -- case facts). I didn't need books like the Hobbit because I was finding life strange enough in this World, thank you.

Next to Attorney Fieger is a picture of John Edwards and Uncle Vlad standing in the living room, the very same living room seen in this 2004 WMUR video when I was the target of irrational government abuse as noted in KingCast short film, "Arraignment Press Conference." The indictment against me for Attempted Felony Extortion was retaliation against First Amendment speech that the government and the NAACP did not like, notably this June 2005 blawg entry "Why the NAACP is a sellout organization." The NAACP and Chief Dunn lied under Oath; all charges dismissed with Dunn and his prosecutor fired and left under an ethics investigation, respectively.

PS: Uncle Vlad offered Candidate Edwards a shot of whiskey, which he politely declined. We didn't have any anyway, but you always offer a man a drink so we would have gone to the store and made a party of it :)

Remember this: If you bend your back people will ride your back. If you stand up straight can't nobody ride you.
