re: City of Houston demands pastors turn over sermons

They filed a lawsuit....every lawsuit involves Discovery...to "discover" items attorneys file subpoena's to produce documents. During discovery each party has a wide latitude to collect/demand documentation. Seeing the text of sermons that the preachers would have espoused publicly would not seem to be that dangerous or an overreach.
What would be concerning is if the sermons were seized by gov agents in the absence of a lawsuit. Or if the discovered documents are then used to facilitate an actual abridgment of the pastors' first amendment rights.
If you don't want people to look at your pvt docs don't file a lawsuit and expose them to discovery.
Additionally, they're misrepresenting the bathroom law in that article.

This should end the thread rather abruptly.

Does 'discovery' (and yes, I know what this phase means, just don't know the extent and reach of it) allow asking for things that are patently a violation of freedom of speech? Perhaps lawyers here could educate the rest of us.

You're ruining the circle jerk on here by bringing some common sense to this thread.
In addition, the people of Houston deserve to see what anti-gay bigots these "men of God" are.
