Was there a H.R. # cited in the article? I would like to read the bill…
I’m trying to find out what happened to the article Robertlyn. The did cite the HR # in the article but the article has vanished.
It’s HR 985. The article seems to have misconstrued what is there. There’s a lot of stuff floating on the internet right now. The CatchADream e-mail is one of those that seems to have been misconstrued. It wasn’t about “military participation” in faith based events, which was someone’s take on the event. It was about “military participation” in fund raising events.
Here’s the wording in the bill. Take it for what it’s worth.
“The Bill is entitled Free Flow of Information Act of 2009 and here is a summary of what the bill is about:
Free Flow of Information Act of 2009 – Prohibits a federal entity (an entity or employee of the judicial or executive branch or an administrative agency of the federal government), in any matter arising under federal law, from compelling a covered person to testify or produce any document unless a court makes specified determinations by a preponderance of the evidence, including determinations: (1) relating to exhaustion of alternative sources, (2) that the testimony or document sought is critical; (3) that disclosure of the information source’s identity is necessary; and (4) that the public interest in compelling disclosure of the information or document involved outweighs the public interest in gathering or disseminating news or information. Allows a court, in making the last of those determinations, to consider the extent of any harm to national security.
Defines “covered person” as a person who regularly gathers, photographs, records, writes, edits, reports, or publishes information concerning matters of public interest for dissemination to the public for a substantial portion of the person’s livelihood or substantial financial gain, including a supervisor, employer, parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of such a person. Excludes from that definition foreign powers and their agents and certain terrorist organizations and individuals.
Requires the content of compelled testimony or documents to be limited and narrowly tailored.
Prohibits construing this Act as applying to civil defamation, slander, or libel claims or defenses under state law.
Exempts certain criminal or tortious conduct.
Applies this Act to communications service providers with regard to testimony or any record, information, or other communication that relates to a business transaction between such providers and covered persons. Sets forth notice requirements. Permits a court to delay notice to a covered person upon determining that such notice would pose a substantial threat to the integrity of a criminal investigation.”
Thanks Froggy,
I am no lawyer but this seems a bit unnecessarily, and how many judges hold security clearances in the US (beside a FISA judge). Does Congress really like to hear its own voice that much, to put through this kind of useless crappola time and again?
What a waste of legislative time IMO!
They seem to pass a lot of fluff to obscure the arrows.
Where’s the link to whatever you’re talking about, Frog? I’d like to read it.
The article has vanished CD.
I read this crap yesterday at WND and danm, did it get me fired up!! This administration will do anything to protect itself and do whatever they want. I’m at a loss for words I’m so pissed!
