Cohen SPEECH Act Passes House
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives today passed for the second time this Congress legislation Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) authored — the Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage (SPEECH) Act — that protects American authors, journalists and publishers from foreign defamation judgments that undermine the First Amendment and American due process standards. The measure, which the Senate amended and passed last week, now heads to President Obama to be signed into law.
“Libel tourism threatens to undermine free speech in the U.S. because, with the rise of the Internet and foreign courts’ liberal exercise of personal jurisdiction over Americans, foreign defamation law that lacks the constitutionally mandated speech-protective features of U.S. law can be applied to publications that are substantially or entirely distributed in the U.S.,” said Congressman Cohen, who spoke on the House floor about the measure. “Our First Amendment rights are among the most fundamental principles laid out in the Constitution. It is vital we ensure that these rights are never undermined by foreign judgments. I appreciate Rachel Ehrenfeld for helping bring attention to this important issue.”
“Libel tourism” refers to forum shopping by defamation plaintiffs seeking to exploit plaintiff-friendly defamation laws in foreign countries in an attempt to silence or intimidate American journalists, authors and publishers. The issue of libel tourism came to the forefront as a result of the case of Ehrenfeld v. bin Mahfouz, which involved a U.S. author who was sued for libel in England by a Saudi billionaire.
The author, Rachel Ehrenfeld, was unsuccessful in her effort to have an English default judgment against her declared unenforceable in the U.S. This prompted the New York State Legislature to enact legislation — the first of its kind in the U.S. — prohibiting enforcement of a foreign libel judgment unless a court in New York determines that it satisfies the free speech and press protections guaranteed by the U.S. and New York State constitutions.
“As the initiator of antilibel tourism legislation, I welcome Congressman Cohen’s passage of this important bill in the House,” said Ehrenfeld. “I congratulate him, as his early efforts are leading to a new law of the land.”
Last year Congressman Cohen — who chairs the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law — chaired a hearing where Dr. Ehrenfeld testified. The Congressman’s legislation passed the House of Representatives last year and was modified by the Senate and approved last week. The Senate sponsors of the measure are Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (Vermont) and Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (Alabama).
The measure is supported by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Vermont Library Association, the American Library Association, the Association of American Publishers, the American Civil Liberties Union, renowned First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, and the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, James Woolsey.

Better Bail Faster, Billy
Rutland, VT — “Better Bail Faster, Billy” is Vermont Senate candidate Len Britton’s second release in the laugh-out-loud series of national debt crisis campaign ads. The ad returns Billy and his sister to the Ship of State lifeboat in danger of sinking from excessive government spending. The children can’t bail the water fast enough as government agents pour on the “Stimulus” and “Pork” water buckets.
“America’s looming debt danger is crippling our economy and jeopardizing future generations. My humorous approach to this very serious issue will raise awareness with the typical American family” stated Britton.
Britton’s first installment “Better Get a Paper Route, Billy” released in May, received national acclaim appearing on numerous blogs including RedState.com, RealClearPolitics.com & MSNBC.com. “Paper route,” with over 35,000 YouTube views, is Vermont’s most widely seen viral political ad in history.

Anarcho-Capitalism: The Commoditization of Violence
“Anarcho-Capitalism: The Commoditization of Violence
As can be easily discovered through perusing youtube, the anarcho-capitalist mentality is most vocally predicated on the “non-aggression principle”, which implicates government as being necessarily immoral due to their ability to collect taxes, for instance, through its use of monopolized force or violence (“initiating violence”). But what is tacitly being called for in the advocacy of a private legislature and judiciary, where law is subjected to competitive forces, i.e. the voluntary choices made by society as to what form of law they wish to respect determines the success or failure of a private law, is the repeal of law enforcement as a monopolistic enterprise in society, viz, the means to maintain law as a service, which necessitates the use of violence, turns into a commodity.
Irrespective of a sanguine judgment on the outcome of such a competition, which possibly would lead to the monopolization of law anyway as suggested by Robert Nozick in Anarchy, State, and Utopia, it is argued here that anarcho-capitalists have an infantile perspective of the decency of human beings, unsurprisingly diametric to leftism’s justifications for government force yet ironically similar in infantilsm, viz, that such private judiciaries, and by extension humans, are perfect moral agents, and that the idea of “the non-aggresion principle” will be held as a virtue and will guide human choice. Yet through commoditizing violence, anarcho-capitalists have a massively internal contradiction — initiating violence actually becomes incentivized.
The simplest evidence to falsify such a belief that the removal of monopolized force will lead to virtue is one which no doubt many anarcho-capitalists are familar with: the illegal drug trade. By keeping drugs illegal, competition is restricted, which drives profit upwards, and enables great wealth to be accrued. This wealth, built through the exclusion of monopolized force, necessitates force as an operational cost of the drug business — the business needs to protect its interest in the absence of the monopoly. In doing so, violence is an integral form of the business. It is no wonder then that, through the act of competiting drug businesses, violence is used so frequently. It behooves drug business A to outcompete drug business B, so shortening the latter’s product supply through the use of violence is a “legitimate” business expense for the former to increase its profits. It is argued that this is already accomplished through the use of the government and hence the aim of reducing the scope of government. It can be said then that the “black market” is actually an “anarcho-capitalist” market.
The skeptic will argue it is fallacious to conflate private business with private law. Regardless of evidence of anarcho-capitalist enterprises (i.e. drug cartels) providing law in parts of Mexico and Columbia, as well as the infiltration of these enterprises in governments, violent competition would take place amongst private judiciaries and legislators by de facto of competing law enforcements. Or the skeptic will argue that presuming the existence of competing private laws is begging the question – why do laws even need to exist? Yet determining rational action is predicated on the ability to predict outcomes in an envrionment where actions are not arbitrary. Thus the usage of “law”.
In summary, anarcho-capitalism attempts to remove tyranny by replacing it with even greater tyranny — violence dictated by the marketplace.”
