Recently blogger P.Z. Meyers has become the subject of a lawsuit based on a negative review he gave a book which attempted to take on evolutionary theory.
Now, noted legal scholar Peter Irons has weighed in on the merits of the case in an open letter to the plaintiff.
Just a little bit on Peter Irons. He's published multiple works dealing with our right and liberties as Americans, but probably his finest achievement was his work on behalf of Japanese Americans who were interred during World War II. By reopening the cases of Fred Korematsu and others, Irons helped get their convictions vacated. A contribution which made some progress in correcting an injustice made decades ago.
