#3 Wouldn't it be great if the judge sat through the whole thing then tossed it out and ordered cair to pay the defendant's legal fees? |

#2 Anguper You have a point. However, this lawsuit looks to be a major public affairs disaster for the Jihad and thus from that standpoint, quashing may not be a good idea. |

#1 Targeting private individuals who do anything to bring any form of unfavorable attention to Muslims is a form of Lawfare, and needs to be quashed right away. See SLAPP in wikipedia for starters: A Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation ("SLAPP") is a form of litigation filed by a large organization or in some cases an individual plaintiff, to intimidate and silence a less powerful critic by so severely burdening them with the cost of a legal defense that they abandon their criticism. In this case, it's a legal maneuver to strike terror in everyday people (like us) so they will be less and less willing to do anything to resist the jihad. California enacted Code of Civil Procedure § 425.16 in 1992, a statute intended to prevent the misuse of litigation in SLAPP suits. It provides for a special motion which a defendant can file at the outset of a lawsuit to strike a complaint where the complaint arises from conduct that falls within the rights of petition or free speech...It also applies to speech in a public forum about an issue of public interest and to any other petition or speech conduct about an issue of public interest. I don't know which court has jurisdiction in this case, or what (if anything) can be done about it. Some input from 'Burgers with legal background needed here. Could any customer of US Airway file a court petition to quash this ridiculous maneuver NOW? This action is significant for US infidels right now. |
