But the 19 only deception here is in the Complaint. Fox’s opinion hosts have never described the Coronavirus 20 as a “hoax” or a “conspiracy,” but instead used those terms to comment on efforts to exploit the 21 pandemic for political points. Regardless, the claims here are frivolous because the statements at 22 issue are core political speech on matters of public concern. The First Amendment does not permit 23 censoring this type of speech based on the theory that it is “false” or “outrageous.” Nor does the law 24 of the State of Washington. The Complaint therefore should be dismissed as a matter of law. 25 MOTION TO DISMISS - 1 LAW OFFICES HARRIGAN LEYH FARMER & THOMSEN LLP 999 THIRD AVENUE, SUITE 4400 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98104 TEL (206) 623-1700 FAX (206) 623-8717 1 STATEMENT OF FACTS 2 The country has been gripped by an intense public debate about the novel Coronavirus 3 outbreak.

  • Anti-Trafficking Coalition FOSTA Letter to US House of Representatives
    January 16, 2018 The Honorable Paul Ryan, Speaker U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510-0001 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy, Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510-0001 Dear Mr. Speaker and MaJority Leader McCarthy: We write as organizations and individuals working to end human trafficking with allies across the country, including Wisconsin and California, and concerned citizens who respect the pressures you face conducting the nation’s business. But the issue we write about is literally a matter of life and death. Last month in Portland Oregon, the family of a 24-year old mother, murdered on Christmas by a man who bought her for sex on Backpage.com, sued the website for allowing sex trafficking in its ads. 1 The case is similar to testimony heard by the Senate Commerce Committee from the mother of a 16-year-old daughter murdered by a man who bought her via Backpage.com on Christmas Eve. 2 Congress granted victims of human trafficking a private right of action under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2003 to provide protection and to help prevent this despicable crime. Yet court after court, has ruled the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 shields Internet Service Providers like Backpage.com from accountability. As a result, online trafficking has surged, online entities continue to facilitate trafficking with impunity, and victims have no effective legal redress. The First Circuit Court of Appeals pointedly stated, “[T]he remedy is through legislation.” 3 1 http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2017/12/family_of_woman_killed_in_port.html# 2 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2017/09/19/mother-of-slain-teen-makes-tearful-plea- for-congress-to-amend-internet-law/ 3 http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/15-1724P-01A.pdf However, in the strong opinion of the undersigned organizations, the remedy is not the Substitute to HR 1865, Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), approved by the House Judiciary Committee on December 12, 2017.

  • Using Activists' Pairwise Comparisons to Measure Ideology
    Is John McCain more conservative than Rand Paul? Using activists' pairwise comparisons to measure ideology ∗ Daniel J. Hopkins Associate Professor University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Hans Noely Associate Professor Georgetown University [email protected] April 3, 2017 Abstract Political scientists use sophisticated measures to extract the ideology of members of Congress, notably the widely used nominate scores. These measures have known limitations, including possibly obscuring ideological positions that are not captured by roll call votes on the limited agenda presented to legislators. Meanwhile scholars often treat the ideology that is measured by these scores as known or at least knowable by voters and other political actors. It is possible that (a) nominate fails to capture something important in ideological variation or (b) that even if it does measure ideology, sophisticated voters only observe something else. We bring an alternative source of data to this subject, asking samples of highly involved activists to compare pairs of senators to one another or to compare a senator to themselves. From these pairwise comparisons, we can aggregate to a measure of ideology that is comparable to nominate. We can also evaluate the apparent ideological knowledge of our respondents. We find significant differences between nominate scores and the perceived ideology of politically sophisticated activists. ∗DRAFT: PLEASE CONSULT THE AUTHORS BEFORE CITING. Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association in Chicago, April 6-9, 2017. We would like to thank Michele Swers, Jonathan Ladd, and seminar participants at Texas A&M University and Georgetown University for useful comments on earlier versions of this project.

  • House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Name Redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process
    The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative name redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process November 12, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 97-780 The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Summary The Speaker of the House of Representatives is widely viewed as symbolizing the power and authority of the House. The Speaker’s most prominent role is that of presiding officer of the House. In this capacity, the Speaker is empowered by House rules to administer proceedings on the House floor, including recognition of Members to speak on the floor or make motions and appointment of Members to conference committees. The Speaker also oversees much of the non- legislative business of the House, such as general control over the Hall of the House and the House side of the Capitol and service as chair of the House Office Building Commission. The Speaker’s role as “elect of the elect” in the House also places him or her in a highly visible position with the public. The Speaker also serves as not only titular leader of the House but also leader of the majority party conference. The Speaker is often responsible for airing and defending the majority party’s legislative agenda in the House. The Speaker’s third distinct role is that of an elected Member of the House. Although elected as an officer of the House, the Speaker continues to be a Member as well. As such the Speaker enjoys the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges of all Representatives.

  • The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics
    religions Article The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics Patricia Miller Received: 27 October 2015; Accepted: 22 December 2015; Published: 6 January 2016 Academic Editor: Timothy A. Byrnes Senior Correspondent, Religion Dispatches; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-703-519-8379 Abstract: White Catholics are increasingly trending toward the Republican Party, both as voters and candidates. Many of these Republican-leaning Catholics are displaying a more outspoken, culture-war oriented form of Catholicism that has been dubbed Evangelical Catholicism. Through their forceful disciplining of pro-choice Catholics and treatment of abortion in their quadrennial voting guides, as well as their emphasis on “religious liberty”, the U.S. bishops have played a major role in the rise of these Evangelical Catholics. Keywords: U.S. Catholic bishops; abortion; Republican; Democratic; voting 1. Introduction While the Catholic Church is associated with opposition to legalized abortion, a review of the historical record shows that the anti-abortion movement was largely fomented by the Catholic hierarchy and fueled by grassroots Evangelical opposition to abortion [1]. Lay Catholics have largely tracked general public opinion on abortion, with just over half of white Catholics saying it should be legal; polls have consistently found that only about 13% of Catholics support the position of the Catholic Church that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances [2,3]. As a result, Catholic voters have been comfortable supporting candidates who favor abortion rights, adding to their reputation as swing voters who have backed both successful Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. However, a substantial subset of white Catholic voters now appears more firmly committed to the Republican Party.
