The NY Times used the First Amendment to keep Alex Berenson -- who seeking to turn his novel into a movie -- from explaining his behavior to federal judge Jack Weinstein, particularly his role in a conspiracy to illegally ferret documents out of a case (which makes him a hero in the addled minds of MindFreedom and other co-conspirators) .
As the following clip from Fox News suggests, Judge Weinstein, no arch-conservative, has found Berenson's contempt for legal procedure, defendant rights and the court, "reprehensible."
Drugwonks was attacked for criticizing those (Berenson included) involved in this sordid mess as well as those that called his accomplices "heroes."
We think we are owed an apology. As is Eli Lilly and Co. who, since we last checked, is still afforded the same rights and protections under the Constitution as any defendant in a civil suit.
We are not holding our breath. Maybe if we contacted the NY Times to steal one out of federal court documents we'd get one sooner.
