ANOTHER "SACRED" JUDGE
TRYING TO CURB FREEDOM

For this the sacred judge, who
must not be criticized, acting as
prosecutor, Judge and jury, found
the publisher guilty.
The law under which Bonfils
was sentenced is an old one that
has not been used in years. Sew
eral states have already abolish
ed it and the federal government
wiped 1t out in federal courts over
eighty years ago.
1t is not an offense to discuss
or to criticize federal judges or
their actions but 1t is a legal
offense" to criticize petty state
judges.
Bonf1ls has appealed his case.
