Reply to comment by randomFrenchDeadbeat in Pointing out spelling mistake leads to contempt conviction for Fiji lawyer by Mamacrass

You made a false statement about US law. I corrected you.

The guy spoke in a public forum. The court took action to silence him. Very much a free speech issue.

No it is not. Read the damn XKCD.

Yes it is. Mocking the court for the court's mistake is very much free speech in the U.S. The government, in the form of the court punishing the mocking party, would very quickly find itself on the wrong side of a ACLU lawsuit for infringing upon free speech.
