I'm not kidding - this is some seriously scary shit.
A federal judge has ordered a university to turn over records about a gathering of anti-war activists. In addition to records about who attended the forum, the subpoena orders the university to divulge all records relating to the local chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, a New York-based legal activist organization that sponsored the forum.
Why isn't anyone noticing this is past McCarthyism? I know I say alarmist things on a regular basis, but this seems much closer to the genuine article than any of the potentially damaging legal maneuvers of Ashcroft.

Sad how often it is lawyers are out there fighting the good fights when no one else will do it. Civil rights was in the courts long before the legislature moved on it.
