PATTERICO: A Call to Any Tennessee Readers: Attend the Meeting on How the Feds Might Prosecute Those Who Post “Inflammatory Documents” About Muslims. Alas, I’m travelling that day and can’t go.

UPDATE: More from Byron Tau at Politico.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Eugene Volokh has some observations on this, but warns: “My one reservation is that it’s hard from the newspaper article to tell precisely what U.S. Attorney Killian said; misparaphrases sometimes happen, even more commonly than misquotes. If his claims about the civil rights laws was limited to specific true threats of violence against particular people or particular institutions, such speech may indeed be punishable under the “true threats” exception to the First Amendment. But indeed “inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims” generally are constitutionally protected, so if Mr. Killian indeed used those words or ones that are fairly paraphrased as those words (or suggested that the ‘How to Wink’ posting was actually illegal rather than just wrong), then Floyd Abrams’ criticism is entirely apt.”
