Alabama judge has chance to be a hero for the First Amendment

A federal district judge now has a chance to vindicate the First Amendment rights of every American citizen and affinity group.

Judge Liles Burke of Alabama held a hearing on Friday on a motion to quash an abusive subpoena by the Justice Department. The subpoena was issued against the conservative Eagle Forum of Alabama, but it would have been just as abusive if filed against, for one example, the liberal NAACP.
