So basically, it's ok to slander someone. Nice.

If the courts want to protect high school student's 1st Amendment rights why not defend their 2d Amendment rights as well? Let the kids carry loaded rifles at school. In fact, require it as part of the school uniform. As Heinlein said "An armed society is a polite society".

It just goes to show you how some lawyers are totally useless! They have to throw in their two cents no matter how stupid it is.

I hope this measure is a start at addressing this problem. Any decent lawyer ought to have been able to draft a bill that offered protections against criminal harassment (such as Phoebe suffered) while not infringing civil liberties. How else are anti-stalking or anti-harassment laws in force? People who harass celebrities aren't able to plead the Constitution as a defence.
