		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s hard to evaluate a free speech case in the absence of the language. Here&#039;s the cited language from the opinion. I&#039;ll leave it to the other regulars to see if this is protected speech or not:

&quot;Three days later, on August 23, 1999, Mr. Fieger, in a tone similar to that which he had exhibited during the Badalamenti trial and on his then-daily radio program in Southeast Michigan, continued by addressing the three appellate judges in that case in the following manner, “Hey Michael Talbot, and Bandstra, and Markey, I declare war on you. You declare it on me, Ideclare it on you. Kiss my ass, too.” Mr. Fieger, referring to his client, then
said, “He lost both his hands and both his legs, but according to the Court of Appeals, he lost a finger. Well, the finger he should keep is the one where he should shove it up their asses.”
Two days later, on the same radio show, Mr. Fieger called these same judges “three jackass Court of Appeals judges.” When another person involved in the broadcast used the word “innuendo,” Mr. Fieger stated, “I know the only thing that&#039;s in their endo should be a large, you know, plunger about the size of, you know, my fist.” Finally, Mr. Fieger said, “They say under their name,
‘Court of Appeals Judge,’ so anybody that votes for them, they’ve changed their name from, you know, Adolf Hitler and Goebbels, and I think–what was Hitler&#039;s–Eva Braun, I think it was, is now Judge Markey, she&#039;s on the Court of Appeals.”

IMHO Jeff Feiger has taken the inevitable trip that all lawyers who try their cases in the media take  --- from attorney to arrogant.]]></description>
