Times-Picayune appeals magistrate’s order to provide information on commenters ~ Gordon Russell
At this point I’d like to remind everyone of the economic concept of signalling. This concept is interdisciplinary in application and my limited experience is one place it applies is in the practice of law. Assuming a lawyer has the sense not to BS a judge a party to litigation will often self reveal facts.
I mention this because I detected some signalling in the appeal of Magistrate Wilkinson’s order thus the post title. Whether or not the T-P’s lawyers are BSing on the signal sent is the only question left in my mind. The early pre-appeal predictions are that Judge Lemmon would not overrule Magistrate Wilkinson. We shall see.
Given the Tipsy subscribes to the notion that you are entitled to “speech as privilege” ONLY if you belong to the establishment media, one does not expect any zeal in their advocacy for all.
