Wednesday, March 10 – Equal Protection for Soros and Beck

What do George Soros and Glenn Beck have in common?

Soros, a survivor of Nazi and Communist oppression in his native Hungary, has funded various liberal advocacy and research organizations.

Beck was a Top 40 DJ before he became a leading voice of the conservative movement as a host on Fox News.

Yesterday, discussion of my libel tourism bill on the House floor was delayed 24 hours.

This legislation would protect Marylanders from libel judgments in a foreign court if that country does not provide at least as much protection for freedom of speech and press as our federal and state constitutions.

“Will this bill help George Soros?” another delegate asked me this morning.

“The First Amendment equally protects George Soros and Glenn Beck,” I replied.
