Congresswoman Linda Sanchez parties after a long day of jailing bloggers
You never know what to expect from the sinister Sanchez sisters – Linda and Loretta both Democrat representatives from California – but you know it won’t be good.
Rep Linda Sanchez, a California Democrat, says, “Congress has no interest in censoring.” Of course, she said that in defense of her bill that censors the internet.
Sister Linda has introduced the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act. Despite her claim that “Congress has no interest in censoring,” Civil libertarians call the overly-broad bill “the Internet Censorship Act of 2009.”
“Put simply,” she commented in a piece for the Huffington Post, “this legislation would be used as a tool for a judge and jury to determine whether there is significant evidence to prove that a person ‘cyberbullied’ another. That is: did they have the required intent, did they use electronic means of communication, and was the communication severe, hostile, and repeated? So — bloggers, e-mailers, texters, spiteful exes and those who have blogged against this bill have no fear — your words are still protected under the same American values.”
Sanchez shows her deep commitment to the First Amendment by including the phrase “so-called free speech” in her HuffPo article.
Methods of communication where so-called hostile speech would be criminalized include telephones, websites, e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, and text messages. No word of whether sexting is included.
Murphy’s Law says, “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” It’s corollary, Sanchez’ Law says, “Whatever I say is wrong is wrong.”

Um, does the subtext here assume monitoring of the aforementioned communications – phone, blogs, text messages et al? That is chilling.
I should send her a copy of the Constitution on MP3 so she can listen to it. Maybe she hasn’t read it yet.
Thanks guys for the best picture you could find of the dishonorable Linda. That upper arm is no Michelle Obama arm is it? Poor Linda, she will always live in Loretta’s shadow – (whisper here – which isn’t big enough).
How can anyone comment on this clueless stupidity? I guess the only thing you can say is please “Go read the Constitution”
That is how she looks like? Wow. Well it explains it she was obviously BULLIED growing up and now wants to make them all pay… Great use of power there sistah.

I hear you Tracy. I have been here for 10 years now. The stupidity of the California legislature is astounding. From the CARB initiatives to the unending entitlement programs this state is sunk. Come June I will move back to my native state of Louisiana.
