Douglass Mackey case: USA criminalizes memes. Literally.

@hubrys No. I don't.

You seem to mistake "care what you think", with "poke fun - while perhaps educate or encourage OTHERS a bit".

They are different.

All along, you've been wrong on Mackey case.

And now a publication that, in theory, YOU should respect (but really I don't), tells you so.

It's fun to point that out............ Whether or not you see it.

But it does "involve you" on some level, so - it seemed courteous to notify you.

Thus: What you call summoning was, believe it or not, done from courtesy.

As to Harvard's article: They ignore HUGE issues of prosecutor abuse & bias, like

selective prosecution (Kristina Wong not mentioned)
invention of non-existent conspiracy

So it's lame. Still, nice to see yall slow-witted libs finally move a few centimetres.

That Mackey’s primitive meme — sandwiched between thousands of his other tweets — could have fooled American voters into believing that the 2016 election allowed voting by text does indeed strain belief.

Yes.

The government relied on conversations Mackey had with his coconspirators to show conspiratorial intent, but Mackey’s lawyers claimed that Mackey was never present in these conversations at all.

Not quite. Prosecutor failed to show that Mackey was ever present.

One witness said, in effect & under government pressure, We had an imaginary agreement in my imagination, to defraud voters. Big whoop.

USA will vote Orange in November............... ............. and this case is 1 micro example, of why.

Lib arrogance, lib abuses, lib illegitimacy.
