Update on Ian Freeman’s Case
Reminder: Our online Zoom conference on open borders continues this evening, October 21, with John Washington, the author of the excellent new book The Case for Open Borders. 7 p.m.-8 p.m. Eastern Time. Register here.
Reminder: I’ll be speaking at the JFK Lancer conference and also at the CAPA conference, which are being held on November 22-24 in Dallas. Both of them are fantastic JFK-assassination-related conferences. I highly recommend registering for both and then picking and choosing which sessions you would like to attend at both conferences. I will have some of my JFK books there to autograph and sell at a discounted price. I hope to see you there!

Ian’s appeal

A 3-judge panel of the appellate court will read those briefs. That panel will then decide on whether to schedule the case for oral arguments. Given the complex issues that the case presents, in my opinion the Court will sche
