National Group Sees ‘Chilling Effect’ in Alabama Blogger’s Arrest

A court injunction that led to the arrest of an Alabama blogger last week could imperil free speech rights, a national organization said Monday. “Legal Schnauzer” blogger Roger Shuler was arrested Wednesday and held without bond in the Shelby County, Ala., jail on a contempt of court charge after he refused to comply with a preliminary court injunction that prohibited him from continuing to repeat accusations against the son of former Alabama Gov. Bob Riley.

“Unfortunately for bloggers and free speech advocates, the injunction in the Shuler case could have a chilling effect,”  

Ali A. Akbar, [SIDEBAR:  ROVE IS AKBAR'S 'LOVER' OUTED ON LS VIA RS],

president of the National Bloggers Club said in a press release Monday. “As a result, the National Bloggers Club believes the injunction, not the case itself, poses the real threat to bloggers.”

Robert R. “Rob” Riley Jr., son of the state’s former Republican governor, has filed a defamation suit against Shuler, a liberal blogger who has claimed that the younger Riley had a sexual affair with lobbyist Liberty Duke that led to Duke’s divorce. Shuler also faces a defamation suit from Republican activist Jessica Medeiros Garrison, over Shuler’s claim that she had an affair with Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange. Shuler has also claimed that U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge William Pryor once posed nude for a gay-oriented magazine.

... Akbar noted the irony that he is defending Shuler’s First Amendment rights, even though Shuler last year published a series of articles claiming that Akbar was in a gay affair with GOP strategist Karl Rove. Akbar’s Alabama attorney, Baron Coleman, on Saturday sent Shuler a notice demanding a retraction of those “false and defamatory” articles within 10 days or “face swift and certain legal action.”
