Henry McMaster: What a Jerk

Henry McMaster is the Attorney-General of South Carolina. Two weeks ago Mr McMaster gave craigslist an ultimatum: “remove the portions of the Internet site dedicated to South Carolina and its municipal regions which contain categories for and functions allowing for the solicitation of prostitution and the dissemination and posting of graphic pornographic material” within ten (10) days.” “If those South Carolina portions of the site are not removed,” McMaster said, “the management of craigslist may be subject to criminal investigation and prosecution.”
In addition to being unwarranted by the facts, legal experts agree that the charges threatened represent an unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech, and are clearly barred by federal law (sec 230 CDA).

Henry McMaster wants to Governor and he's not about to let a pesky little issue like freedom of speech stand in his way. Tell Henry McMaster what you think of him on his new PersonRatings profile.
