Friday saw the latest filing in James “James Freeman” Springer’s (Freeman) lawsuit against New Mexico’s Seventh District Court in the form of a response to a recent motion to dismiss by the defense.
The response, written by A. Blair Dunn, weighs heavily on the argument that Springer’s actions in insulting and harassing government entities and public officials is protected speech and covered under the first amendment.
As YouTuber MERB pointed out in a Saturday live stream, it categorizes all defendants as public officials, though not all of the defendants were elected officials and were simply workers who served the public.
The motion also seems to threaten the Judge by indicating that any action on the motion would be distributed to Freeman’s 500,000 subscribers, “who will again be likely incensed, not in great part by his profanity or commentary about the motion, but rather by the audacity of Defendants and their counsel to remain so tone deaf regarding the abridgement and violations of freedom of speech, press and even petitioning for redress3 that Defendants have perpetrated against Mr. Springer.”
Dunn, strangely, refused to directly address portions of the defense motion, instead referring the Judge back to his response to a similar motion to dismiss last year.
Freeman is seeking to have an order by the Seventh District Court lifted as it requires him to have a police escort when visiting court related buildings in the Seventh District.
