Proof that the MSM is out to lunch

This story from CNN (or AP) reports on Leonard v. Robinson (6th Cir. 2/2/07).  It is a pretty garden-variety 1983 case where some cop thinks that he can arrest someone for saying “goddamn” and claims qualified immunity.  The District Court dismisses and the 6th reverses because a reasonable fact-finder could conclude that the arrest was in retaliation for protected conduct.  There is a quote from Bork (noting that is favors the most “narrow” interpretation of freedom of speech).  Anyway, CNN’s coverage is laughable, and it is obvious that they did not read the Sixth Circuit’s opinion, and they get just about every legal point wrong.

Oh, and the 6^th Circuit posted the oral arguments in the warrantless wiretapping case.  Here is the mp3.
