Things are progressing in an orderly manner.

Things looked good, and Harry Remes' national speaking tour was a huge success.

And Edward in New Haven has been working hard to control the course of the case again, at least to bring it back to the normal legal system, rather than messing with Larry Parry and Wilford.

Public opinion on the East and West Coasts, New England and industrial cities all overwhelmingly support Harry Remus, but the Midwest and the lovely South are still stubborn, and people in other regions are only concerned about whether Harry Remes will continue to work with Linda Laflaise.

The mouthpiece of the South also published an article in the New York Times such as "After 200 years of great nations, smart men like Jefferson, Paine, Debs, etc., and now we are crying out for making Harry Remus a nuisance that everyone knows, it is so infuriating that anyone who donates money for him is whimsical!" ”

In this regard, Harry Rems once again showed his cleverness and innate intelligence.

Edward has repeatedly lamented that if this guy had been born into a middle-class family, he would have left his name in history in another way, at least he would be a pretty good PR figure.

Whenever an article about him was published in the newspaper, especially on the negative side, he would patiently read it, then cut it out and make copies of it and send it to sympathetic reporters, which was like a snowball.

Originally, this case could become a hot topic because of Remus's experience, so that more conscientious reporters could participate and make the right voice heard, which itself is the principle of overcoming evil with good.

Although Edward's intention was to try to avoid the influence of public opinion on the facts of the case - at least not to make the old men feel that they were manipulating the media to coerce the judicial and administrative system.

But the effects of correlation can still happen.

The judiciary and the executive are also human beings, living in this pool of vibrant sewage, and no one is immune from the media.

……

Things are moving in a good direction.

The whole society's attention to this case began to be vigorously discussed in the society, which was of course indispensable behind the promotion of Hefner, Gunecho, and Larry Flint.

Positive feedback came unexpectedly:

Robert Burke, the antitrust lawyer who was feared by students in the Yale court, and who is now the deputy attorney general of the Nixon administration, made a statement in another case.

That case was also related to "Deep Throat," and prosecutors in Kentucky filed a lawsuit in federal appeals court against a local theater for violating the law.

The judge vaguely cited "Miller v. California" as a precedent to convict the theater.

Robert Burke thinks this measure is wrong.

Because when the film was released, the "Miller case" had not yet been finalized, and the current law could not be used to judge past behavior, which was originally a well-known common sense, but under the agitation of conservatives, it was also a wonder that the federal deputy attorney general should come forward to set things right.

I don't know if Robert Burke envied his Soviet counterpart Gusinsky in private, after all, the latter only needs to send people to the Gulag, as for the crime or something, then don't worry, Rubyanko can show whatever evidence he wants, and will even communicate with the prosecutor in advance "Comrade, what physical and human evidence does this bastard need for a sentence of ten years?" Is his own confession needed? It's okay, we can write a copy for him, guaranteed with his autograph and handprint. ”

To be sure, Robert Burke, the powerful deputy attorney general, is doing something unusual.

It is within the purview of the public to make statements on pending cases, but it is not very common.

Because he also has an identity, the Federal Deputy Minister of Justice, which is an executive position, and in theory administrative officials should not be involved in judicial proceedings.

But the role of deputy attorney general has this convenience, which is also a loophole in the federal judicial system of the United States, or a flexible place for power change.

Usually, the federal prosecutor general undertakes the task of administrative jurisdiction, managing the prosecutors stationed in various places, and only when there are some major cases, he will personally act as the appellant, and make statements on cases in which he is not involved, in order to influence the judge's decision.

Ruthberg and Robert Burke were very good personal teachers, and although they belonged to different parties and often did not agree on their political views, they both admired each other's theoretical level and were members of the law school professors' committee.

Edward suspects that Rushberg played a big role in it, but since she doesn't say it, then it's better for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and pretend to get rid of the involvement, which is good for several aspects, otherwise the mad dogs of Memphis may bite Rustberg again, I'm afraid, but there is not much need to add these troubles outside of the case.

The most important thing right now is to help Harry Remus win this lawsuit, and leave the rest aside.

It's a good thing that Robert Burke volunteered to go out and attract firepower.

You know, Larry Parry has now completely entered the state of a mad dog - because of Larry Flint's divine assistance, and Edward himself knows that in his previous life, there was an unwritten rule that would not hurt his family - because this can avoid further intensification of the conflict, but now Larry Flint directly ordered the other mother, which is completely afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

It's hard to say whether Larry Parry, who is usually nervous, can maintain a normal personality after being stimulated by this.

Of course, as Flint's lawyer, he can make a lot of money from it, and it is important to make money, but the most important thing at the moment is not to mix these things together, and now the law is not good for him, but the facts and public sentiment are on Harry's side, and Edward thinks that he has a good chance of winning, so he can't mess the water too much.

He treated it indifferently.

Memphis can't sit still!

Larry Parry was now the laughing stock of the vulgar throughout the country, and everyone knew that Flint's attack was a false idea, but that did not prevent them from using it to ridicule this sanctimonious fellow, and for a time all sorts of vulgar tabloids and magazines were flooded with "letters from readers" claiming to be the neighbors of Lord Nail Rake, describing the unspeakable.

And when the editor publishes the letter, he adds a sentence at the end, "Is this true?" Please let those in the know know. ”。

The way to cover your ears and steal the bell to get rid of responsibility, not to mention, although this hand looks old-fashioned, it can indeed avoid more than 90% of legal risks.

As for the remaining 10%, 99% of them are going to the leader Larry Flint, as long as he can withstand it, then everyone will be fine, in case he can't stand it, then he will also pay the big penalty, and everyone will not lose money together.

In short, it is a hot behavior with large returns and small risks, how can these pornographic magazine dealers, who have extremely low moral standards, miss this kind of good deal?

After being stimulated, Larry Parry also began to tour the southern states to hold press conferences, at which he cried with snot and tears, calling Flint the scum of the United States, and vowing to fight the lawsuit to the end to protect his own and his mother's reputation.

As a result, his main job was assigned to his boss, Tennessee Attorney General Thomas Telley.

Mr. Thomas was unrelenting in the face of his immediate superior.

Although Thomas was sent to the South by the Federal Prosecutor's Office, he was appointed by His Excellency the President, like Robert Burke, to the same party for a four-year term, at which point each was to be his own master.

If he and Robert Burke and the Attorney General had breathed out of one nostril, his work in Tennessee would not have worked.

This is also one of the battlefields of the game between the state power and the federal power of the United States.

In the face of Robert Burke's public maturity of the Kentucky theater screening of Deep Throat, Thomas Telley immediately made a-for-tat statement, in a vicious tone, and made a conclusive accusation: "He [Robert Burke] was ruthless and pedantic, relying only on the cocktail party coterie of Georgetown and the professors' bars in New Haven and Cambridge (where Harvard is located) to judge the case." ”

Obviously, this is fanning the dissatisfaction of the rednecks with the intellectual elite.

At the same time, Judge Harry Wilford, who is presiding over the case, also began to jump.

"He was blown away," he said.

Edward, on the other hand, felt that it was clear that the judge had missed a sentence "I don't understand, though."

Attorney General Thomas Telley and Judge Wilford are both legal experts who are quite professional in anticipating developments.

Harry Remus, who had relied on the strong conservative atmosphere in the South, summoned him to the Sixth Circuit for trial, was a win.

Even if Harry is dissatisfied and appeals to the High Court, it is not a big problem, after all, the number of cases accepted by the High Court is limited, and Harry Remus's case is highly related to the previous "I Am Curious" case and the "Miller" case, and it is usually not accepted by the High Court, because if the judgment is similar, then it is equivalent to wasting labor and the marginal utility is very small.

If the previous two verdicts are overturned, it's not impossible, it's glorious to slap yourself in a short period of time, and the justices will have to save face!

The courage to renew and the courage to overthrow oneself is certainly a virtue, but it is too beautiful to bear.

……

It wasn't a problem for prosecutors and judges to wear a pair of pants, because it was hidden under the table and invisible to ordinary people, and those who could see it, shielded from the Sixth Circuit, could safely and boldly toss Harry Rems.

Edward's appearance is equivalent to lifting the table, exposing them to the public in front of the whole country, for the Supreme Court and the federal executive agencies, what they can't see can be turned a blind eye, but since it is revealed to the world, then they have to take care of everything......

Seeing the reversal of form, Wilford felt that it was not enough after Thomas Telley fired the shot.

So the judge, who has an IQ comparable to Larry Parry, made an earth-shattering move.

He wrote a letter directly to the Supreme Court's Clerk's Office, expressing grave concern about the Kentucky theater broadcast of "Deep Throat" and accompanying a 60-page statement asking the Supreme Court to reject the claims of the federal deputy attorney general — a case that apparently had considerable connections to the Harry Remes case.

Of course, this move was carried out quietly and away from all public eyes, after all, it was an unprecedented act.

Never before in the judicial history of the United States has a judge of the Circuit Court communicated with the justices in this way.

Outright illegal!

Judges cannot publicly express their views on pending cases until the case is concluded to avoid influencing public judgment.

Wilford thought he was doing it without realizing it.

But he didn't want to think about it, what is the Federal Supreme Court?

It was filled with graduates of Yale, Harvard, and other elite law schools, including the deputy attorney general and Ruthberg's students.

Soon Edward learned about it.

Fortunately, the Federal High Court received the letter on Friday afternoon, and Edward hurriedly asked the seniors in the clerical office to postpone the submission of the letter.

Of course, small requests can be accommodated, and according to the internal rules of the High Court, there are three days after receiving the letter to sort out and register.

At the same time, he immediately rushed to the office of the deputy attorney general in Washington to get in touch, the clerks in the office were all Yale students from Yishui, and they had already heard the name of Edward's little junior brother.

They no longer played official roles with each other, and used their professional expertise to denounce this unprecedented letter as "ridiculous" from both the administrative process and the legal framework.

Immediately, Edward's brother, assistant to the Deputy Attorney General, personally drafted a motion that, after being signed by Robert Burke, was publicly drafted to the Supreme Court, recommending that the latter immediately dismiss the letter from the masses and the attached statements.

On Monday morning, all nine justices received motions, and the old ones were eccentric, but they were all very familiar with jurisprudence.

People are old and fine, and they can see through the ins and outs of the whole thing at a glance.

The old thing immediately agreed, to the letter sent by Judge Wilford - do not open, immediately return it the same way!

and issued a statement on behalf of the Federal Supreme Court that such behavior was unacceptable and that it was a serious violation of the ethics that judges should follow.

The rhetoric is quite harsh, and if you don't accept it, you will be beaten until you are convinced.

Judge Wilford did not dare to contend with the chief justice on such a matter of obvious wrongdoing, and in fact he did not approve of writing the letter, but Larry Parry cried in front of him and repeatedly stated that it was a great deal—if he did not write this letter, then even if Judge Wilford found Harry Rems guilty, the latter could immediately appeal to the High Court.

Because of Robert Burke's strong support in the Kentucky "Deep Throat" case, the Kentucky case will become a new precedent, and Harry Remus can argue for this precedent to defend himself, and Memphis will be defeated, and now the only way to do is to quickly convince the justices, and even this 60-page statement is written by Larry Parry himself.

……

Edward's eyeliner in the Supreme Court clerk's office told him to take it as soon as possible, and he immediately called Wallace without ambiguity, "Hey, big news, big news is coming!" ”

Of course, Meghan didn't forget it.

In this way, all the efforts of the Memphis side were in vain.
