from Raphael Golb's Appeal brief: the Tucker Carlson hoax emails:
Tucker Carlson opened a fake website/email for "Keith Olbermann." "Olbermann" answered a reporter, who believed him, with outrageous emails. "...it's amusing as hell," said Carlson.

"The opportunity to acquire KeithOlberman.com arose and we felt it was a market niche which we could enter and dominate and it would be a public service so we did it. Plus it's amusing as hell." -Tucker Carlson |
If the court of Appeals does not overturn the Dead Sea Scrolls case, then people like Tucker Carlson stand in danger of being sent to the State Penitentiary for this "amusing" behavior.
The jist of Kuby's argument seems to be that what Raphael Golb did on the internet was simply not a crime.
