Kudos to Chuck, with a caveat

Even though I'm on Chuck Turner's press-enemies list, I'd like to congratulate the city councilor for goading the Feds into a laughable effort to violate his First Amendment rights. Still more evidence, I think, that Turner's PR campaign is working surprisingly well.

As Universal Hub's Adam Gaffin notes, there's rich irony in the government's contention that Turner shouldn't be able to selectively cite evidence to defend himself. Then again, as Dan Kennedy and Paul Flannery note, there's also rich irony in the government seeking to curtail Turner's right to free speech after he tried to do the same thing to the media.
