Today I write in praise of First Amendment attorney Marc Randazza.

Frequent readers of the blog know that he's a friend. Today, I'd just like to articulate a few reasons why I admire Marc Randazza.

Now, Randazza is not perfect. Not everyone agrees with some of his clients or his work for them. And he says "fuck" a bit much for someone who isn't, technically, a David Mamet character. And now and then when he goes on a rant about religion and indulges in the "Jewish space zombie" rhetoric it irks the living shit out of me (but I don't dive for the fainting couch, because I figure Jesus will be OK and I will too).

But in a culture cluttered with people who are famous for no good reason whatsoever, Marc Randazza is an outlier: someone who is becoming famous as a First Amendment badass whose First Amendment badassery actually exceeds his rep. If I ever get sued for defamation, he's my first call.
