Previously, I mentioned a site that asks "did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990?". Presumably aware that that pesky First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allow for free speech, Beck's legal team is appealing to international law and going to WIPO. Eiland-Hall's lawyer Marc J. Randazza responds:
We are not here because the domain name could cause confusion. We do not have a declaration from the president of the international association of imbeciles that his members are blankly staring at the Respondents website wondering where did all the race baiting content go? We are here because Mr. Beck wants Respondents website shut down. He wants it shut down because Respondents website makes a poignant and accurate satirical critique of Mr. Beck by parodying Becks very rhetorical style. Becks skin is too thin to take the criticism, so he wants the site down. Beck is represented by a learned and respected legal team. Accordingly, it is beyond doubt that his counsel advised him that under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, no action in a U.S. Court would be successful. See, e.g., Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988). Accordingly, Beck is attempting to use this transnational body to circumvent and subvert the Respondents constitutional rights.
Glenn Beck himself has written:
Once we sign our rights over to international law, the Constitution is officially dead.
Nice to know where Glenn Beck stands on that particular end.
