When a suit has been filed it is a court case. A suit has been filed in this matter. It is a court case. Freedom of speech is one of the amendments to the constitution everyone must abide by it unless it has been modified by contractual agreement entered into by both parties. Common examples are non disclosure agreements regarding information that is deemed to belong to one of the parties, information classified as secret by the government, information protected by a gag order issued by a court. In those instances as well as others information can be protected and excluded from free speech. With regard to your comment about it not applying here I am still not sure what point you are trying to make with your original comment about free speech having anything at all to do with a point you were trying to make. My point was free speech has nothing to do with concealing evidence. The only protections one has regarding protected speech is provided under the search and seizure laws that I mentioned above and they do not apply in this instance. It is just more bullshit from the marsha** camp in an effort to confuse public opinion and nothing more. This is the bill clinton approach to honesty.
