AlphaC–Yep, that's why I'm vindictive enough to aim for kindness…

Odds of judge sitting on future cases for Ken's clients unless removed or recused? 100%. Odds of judge losing his seat or being recused from all of Ken's future cases? Zero.

I don't suppose that a complaint to whoever supervises judges in that jurisdiction would have any chance? That judge is not competent.

Popehat, your original post with citations of this idiot's history was great. I was linked by twitter from one of the blogger victims and this was my first visit to your blog. I do enjoy reading my favorite law blogs from Volokh, SCOTUSblog, LegalInsurrection, Patterico, Aaron [Worthington], and AceofSpades, but I frequently follow links and find new places to gain more information. Your blog and the comments (the majority of comments) were very thoughtful and acknowledge that sometimes different opinions can represent people of different backgrounds but that free speech is not the enemy of opposing opinions.

As for facts to backup opinions, your blog and many of the ones who joined in Friday's blog event provide proof beyond any doubt I could imagine that Kimberlin is a "bad guy" and anyone who supports his psychotic activities is lacking in the common sense of the majority of civilized Americans. Thank you for your contributions and for your support to fellow human beings.

Hit the submit button too quickly – RE prior post – if that doesn't say everything about their intents to chill free speech I don't know what else does. Seriously "inappropriate statements". How about Fuck you Kimberlin.

Well how nice, the Velvet Revolution site has a posting om May 25 by CR. The key sentence being as follows:

"Please note that we are working closely with both state and federal law enforcement officials and have given them lists of all those who make inappropriate statements or contacts."

At Aliens in the Family, where we speak of ourselves in the royal first person plural, our policy is to combine semianonymous online speech with relevant (and perhaps even clever) pseudonyms and close attention to Facebook privacy settings in promotional links in order to write freely to a large prospective audience about relatives who are either beyond the pale or out of this galaxy. A platform with lesser anonymity would chill our right to free speech, as it would abet the bullshit artists, busybodies and duplicitous gossip mongers among our relatives.

The aforementioned relatives are cordially invited to mind their own damn business, especially if they happen upon our online screeds, and to shut the fuck up about us when we might be within earshot. It is our carefully considered opinion at Aliens in the Family that semianonymous online speech about the jackasses and losers among one's relatives is more appropriate than face-to-face gossip all fucking week at family reunions, especially if the former can someday be monetized in the literary tradition of Jonathan Franzen.

We have no idea who this Roth character is who keeps posting in our name. It beats us.

Only one question: Is Ted Francis actually Brett Kimberlin in drag? Stranger things have turned out to be true when it comes to him and his evil-doings in his little parallel universe.

Just think how it would feel to be one of those evil dudes and have your life hanging in the balance based on the actions of a political enemy. Would you believe they really called 911, or did they pretend to do so to discourage anyone else from calling? Are they really trying to make you more comfortable, or are they trying to give you a severed spinal cord? The more people treat them humanely, the more these guys would fear there was something evil going on that they just couldn't figure out. Kindness is the one type of revenge they would never be able to defend against, because it is beyond their understanding.

That being said, modern psychiatry has no cure for sociopaths. It's not really reasonable to expect one to change, not at his age. You can only expect him to follow the law to avoid punishment. It's more reasonable to expect all the non-sociopaths to stop enabling his manipulative behavior, and for judges, lawyers, and law enforcement agents to make the consequences of harassment and lawsuit abuse to be negative enough to make an impression on his sociopathic mind. Popehat is doing its part…

Anyone who doesn't treat his friends better than he does random strangers is probably a saint, and should be martyred as soon as possible to make sure.

In all seriousness, I believe the U agency did misappropriate the trademark of the Orthodox Union.

"Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of the letter "U" in a circle design."

I will alert them.
