In the movie Miracle on 34th Street, there is this classic scene of jurisprudence:
The Judge is buried under a mountain of proof declaring Defendant Kris Kringle is Santa Claus.
I bring up that image as a metaphor of the Federal lawsuit filed by Occupy Wall Street against a variety of State and private Defendants.
If the Judge in this case were to be given every bit of evidence, every bit of proof, of the case against the Defendants — all of the photos, all of the videos, all of the eyewitness accounts, all of the contemporaneous tweets — the Judge would never be able to dig out.
That is how our world has changed due to the Internet.
It is no longer possible for public acts by public — or private — officials to go unnoticed or unpublished.
