Chris Bray: In the Second Act, the Protagonist Withdraws to the Wings

Wednesday, February 22, 2012  AM  7 comments

The ACLU of Massachusetts (ACLUM) will file an amicus brief in a legal appeal over the federal subpoenas of confidential archival material held by Boston College. On Friday, needing time to prepare that amicus brief, the ACLUM asked a First Circuit judge to extend the filing deadlines in two related appeals -- consolidated for the court's simultaneous consideration -- filed by Belfast Project researchers Ed Moloney and Anthony McIntyre. The brief is below.

Boston College continues to do nothing much.

Marty,

no Red Bull but plenty of whiskey tonight. I was out in the town with an old friend from Belfast. Just in. By the way, I finished the poteen! Great!

Dhort but sweet: worth a read from Ed Moloney's blog The Broken Elbow.

What would appear to be a positive development on the surface is exposed by Bray and Maloney as a sham appeal designed to limit the damage to BC's reputation by its previous capitulation. There is a boxing term which describes BC's legal tactics, 'powder punching' i.e throwing punches that do little or no damage to the opponent.

Alec,

a good term - powder punching. That is what they are doing.

I suppose it would help if I used a spell check first. Short not Dhort but sweet!!

Great statement from the American Sociological Association on Chris Bray's blog
