UM: Chris Armstrong

The Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review posts a short item on First Amendment issues related to Andrew Shirvell’s Chris Armstrong Watch blog. (Armstrong, UM’s student body president, has been targeted by Shirvell, who has called him a “radical homosexual activist.”) Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University constitutional attorney, is quoted regarding Shirvell, an assistant attorney general for Michigan: “And where he crossed the line seems to be when he … stands outside the person’s house. That comes very, very close to stalking. There could be civil liability here. And I think that that moves this away from free speech into conduct. And that does – that is a legitimate basis for discipline.” [Source]
