Developments in the Barton Free Speech Case

I was glad to be able to report to you that we won at the Supreme Court in the crucial Sandoval Official English case.

Now I have some more good news to report. You'll remember the Michigan housewife, Janice Barton, who has been appealing her conviction and a 45-day jail sentence for using an ethnic slur in a private statement that Hispanics should learn to speak English.  Mrs. Barton has called to tell me that the Michigan Supreme Court has returned her case to the Appeals Court for further consideration.  That means that the Court of Appeals will now have to issue a full opinion on her appeal, rather than the brush off it originally gave her.
