All credit to Judge Morin for his effort to balance the First Amendment interests of dissenting speakers against the legitimate interests of law enforcement, but I think he got it dangerously wrong. And since the hearing, I have been able to get a look at the “probable cause” affidavit supporting the search warrant. It was surprisingly thin in some respects, and misleading in other respects when you compare the affidavit to parts of the web site that the detective was describing. http://pubcit.typepad.com/clpblog/2017/08/court-grants-motion-to-compel-dreamhost-to-obey-warrant-but-restricts-search-process-and-use-of-data.html Paul Alan Levy Public Citizen Litigation Group 1600 20th Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20009 (202) 588-7725 https://www.citizen.org/our-work/litigation/internet-free-speech Twitter: @paulalanlevy Public Citizen Foundation participates in the Combined Federal Campaign with the CFC Code 11168
