The ramifications of the ARDC complaint

The ramifications of the ARDC complaint filed against JoAnne Denison are enormous. Every citizen should read them and weep!

It is most significant that the issue raised is a 'core' Constitutional basic - i.e. the right of a citizen to speak, communicate with 3rd persons, and protest not only violations of the law directed against her, but 3rd persons as well. This Constitutional issue is so important that it is addressed as part of the 'Constitutional Test' that is administered to pre-teens who seek to enter High School. The hue and cry concerning the 2nd Amendment while serious is nonsense compared to the 'moment' that the attack launched on the "First Amendment" raises to the well being of the republic. Whether I have a gun that fires a bullet, air pressure, water or a bb means nothing if I cannot speak out and be heard!

The thought of lawyers who work for the State of Illinois not knowing or ignoring this basic right is a travesty and indicative of an ethical standard on the part of a governmental entity that is at the nadir of human conduct. Lawyers who advocate in the United States of America an abolition of basic First Amendment Rights do not deserve to practice law in America.
