OFF THE DEEP END

Bad civil liberties haiku:

Private burning cross
political expression--
for Thomas a threat

Cohen’s F*ck the draft--
emotional politics
protected by Court

Free reply time rule
gets Supreme Court approval--
then Reagan kills it

Pasties and G-string—
Indiana councilmen
can require them

Sorry.

MORE:

George Carlin’s words
rush into youthful ears—
FCC censures

Witnesses balk—
Frankfurter opinion
loses Court support

Get the porn home—
privacy protects you
from Georgia’s morals

-----------

MORE

silent cannons
now judges have courage--
habeas corpus

Court split over
peyote exception--
legislature acts

coal company
gets its takings ruling--
the law "goes too far"

OK, enough of that.
