Malkin Legal Defense Fund?
Michelle, if the UC Santa Cruz "Students Against War" sue you for republishing information they themselves published (their names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) in a press release, then I'm first in line to make a contribution to your legal defense fund.
What a frivilous piece of litigation this would be, especially in light of their thuggish actions on campus and their disgusting, racist e-mails in response to Michelle's blog posts.
Simple fact . . . you have no expectation of privacy over information you release to the public. See Nation Magazine v. United States Customs Serv., 71 F.3d 885, 896 (D.C. Cir. 1995) (finding no privacy interest in documents concerning presidential candidate H. Ross Perot's offer to aid federal government in drug interdiction, a subject about which Perot had made several public statements).
