This is incredibly common, e.g. it's basically the entire job description of the ACLU. Why is it different in this case?
- smt88 10y ago> Why is it different in this case? The ACLU is a charitable organization, and its cases have an ideological consistency. Thiel was just trying to find anything he could on Gawker (or just bury them in frivolous lawsuits if he couldn't). The cases didn't have any ideological consistency except "kill Gawker".
- FireBeyond 10y agoBecause the ACLU does it in the open, rather than in secret?
- strictnein 10y agoRights aren't only protected if you exercise them publicly.
- FireBeyond 10y agoNo, but one of the reasons "maintenance" is or was illegal is because the defendant has a right to know their accuser/opponent and their motivations, hence discovery and other pre-trial proceedings, so they can best defend themselves.
