Blogger Aaron Walker achieved another huge victory for free speech today and helped deliver a sound spanking to convicted political terrorist Brett Kimberlin.
A Maryland judge has ruled that Walker is free to blog about Kimberlin. So much for the Judge Vaughey precedent that says protected speech is harassment because he says so, that’s why.
Walker reported the good news on Twitter:
Once again #BrettKimberlin failed in circuit court w/o my side putting on a defense. #hearing

Once again, #BrettKimberlin finds that the rules of evidence is a harsh mistress.

Today Judge Rupp ruled that me accusing #BrettKimberlin of framing me for a crime is NOT harassment. #hearing

As always, the conservative Twittersphere has his back and is celebrating the victory.
A win for #freedomtoblog by @AaronWorthing in MD court today against #BrettKimberlin. GREAT NEWS!
