as a lawyer you'd know that that has nothing to do with the fact that some people do get injunctions and super injunctions just for telling the truth in the UK. and it's completely unfair, and those people wouldn't be silenced in the US.

When you are not only threatened for telling the truth, but then threatened for even saying that you were threatened for wanting to tell the truth. that is a serious lack of free speech, and a shocking assault on people's freedoms. especially when it involves telling the truth about people in power. And that is what injunctions and super injunctions are in the UK. and there is no public transparent process of review.

a super injunction means you can be put in jail just for saying that you were silenced. that is a most despicable form of censorship, and it's legal in the UK.

Yes, I know all that. The bottom line is this: I do not think that Americans' right to freedom of speech has anything to do with Farrah and Jenna being a pair of ****s.
