      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.

      Member of Congress, campaign staffer, House staffer. We both know if this was a Republican, the newsworthiness would need no explanation.

      Republicans SHOULD be held to a higher standard, because when they get caught in affairs of any sort it goes against everything they claim to stand for. The issue is hypocrisy. If they didn’t claim to be for family values, it wouldn’t be any more newsworthy.

      She literally argued during the campaign that electing a woman would avoid sex scandal with subordinates. Is it your contention that Democrats never make assertions about right, wrong, justice, morals, or sexual power dynamics?

      I’m saying that so long as we have heard not one word from the campaign staffer we have 0 clue if there was any abuse of power. All we know is that a vindictive, controlling man has resorted to revenge porn & that she made an unwise decision that as far as we know violated 0 laws

      This is the same argument I keep having with Team MAGA. Criticize the original source all you want, but at the end of the day, the job of the media is to ask "is it true?"

          It’s just a terrible standard. No wonder we have email hacks and revenge porn. And whether the fact that they had an affair is true or not isn’t the full answer. It’s not as cut and dry as non-consensual behavior a la Trump or even Al Franken (who I called on to resign early on).

          I'm all for more responsible journalism, but if you have to prove open-and-shut absence of consent to even begin publishing a story, you'll end up like NBC deep-sixing the Harvey Weinstein story.
