      The word "staffer" seems oddly absent from your Tweet.

      The issue with this claim is that this is not a case where the staffer came forward and said she felt pressure or uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form. And people keep talking about her age as if Hill wasn’t 30 when this happened.

      She's dead to rights on the campaign staffer - which is precisely why the pictures matter. And the denials on the House staffer look pretty flimsy at this point.

      So do you believe revenge porn should be illegal or is, at least, a terrible thing to do?

      I believe public officials often get taken down by disclosures that came from devious origins. Ask Mark Felt.

      That doesn’t answer my question whether you think revenge porn is, at least, unethical or whether you believe it should be illegal, as it now is in, iirc, 46 states?

      The case for it being illegal is that its targets are not public officials holding offices of public trust. Banning political speech is always a dicey business.

      The (participating) husband’s release to the media of pictures of his naked wife is protected political speech?

      It's been part of our politics since James Callender.

      So I take it you don’t believe that a spouse (man or woman) has a right to privacy here, let alone that such laws should exist?

      Did my 3L paper in law school on First Amendment Exclusionary Rules. These issues arise in many areas of the law. I'm particularly skeptical of applying them to bar disclosure of matters of public concern about public officials, absent a threat to national security.

          But the phrase “public concern” is precisely what is at issue here.

          The issue is whether her inappropriate relationship could have been reported on without publishing the pictures. Was it necessary and in the interest of political accountability?
