But I am speaking in a First Amendment class Tuesday about the shield law and will state your point of view for the students' benefit. I did something like what Lance Williams did, only it was in 1987 and involved the Phoenix Suns. and it got them unindicted on a BS cocaine conspiracy case. Thank goodness for the Arizona shield law that protected me at the time. I think justice was served and I probably should blog it in the long form someday. I'm not so sure about the merit plan -- you get the shield law only when you do good for the world. I wish we always did good for the world! I adore you even when we don’t agree.
