A good news, bad news proposition.
First, the good news: StemExpress's temporary restraining order against the Center For Medical Progress (which the latter was ignoring anyway) was tossed out by a local Los Angeles court yesterday, fully reopening the floodgates for the Planned Parenthood Cannibalism film franchise:
The following quotes may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom allied attorneys representing the Center for Medical Progress, regarding a Superior Court of the State of California decision Friday in StemExpress v. The Center for Medical Progress, which dissolves a temporary restraining order against the Center for Medical Progress, allowing them to release footage that features high-ranking StemExpress executives in California involved in selling fetal body parts:
“The First Amendment protects every American’s free speech, regardless of how damaging the truth is for scandal-ridden organizations like StemExpress and Planned Parenthood,” said Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund President Chuck LiMandri. “Our client has the right to expose StemExpress’ role in the potentially illegal sale of aborted babies’ body parts. The court was correct in lifting this gag order, which only served to protect StemExpress’ gruesome business.”
CMP has already released a trailer for the seventh PPC sequel:
The bad news? The court has green-lighted StemExpress to sue the Center For Medical Progress out of existence based upon California's all-parties wiretap law, which isn't exactly congruent with the notion of First Amendment free speech and free press protections.
Why an ongoing criminal operation violating (yes, unconstitutional) federal as well as State laws against fetal organ harvesting is entitled to any right to privacy (oh, the delicious irony of that particular term) regarding their conversations about their illegal operations is a "creative" bit of jurisprudence indeed. Much as why the whistleblowers exposing it ought to be subject to crippling civil and criminal penalties instead of hailed as heroic, courageous journalists shedding much-needed light and public scrutiny on a series of crimes against humanity that are on a par with the Holocaust, the Soviet gulags, and Mao Tse-Tung's "great leap forward". We truly live in a country and world that has been turned upside down.
But one in which the truth can still have an impact.....
