Record's Lying Ann Coulter Does It Again

Monday's St Augustine WRECKORD again prints a false, demagogic Ann Coulter column demonizing "liberals," falsely flaming Yale law professors for making up a "hoax" upon which Griswold v. Connecticut was based (establishing right to privacy).
Easily verifiable as untrue by a well-educated former law clerk to an appellate judge (ANN COULTER), the false claim is emblazoned on the Record's editorial page today.
What gooberishness.
Wikipedia verifies the facts set forth in the case as follows: "Shortly after the Poe decision was handed down, Estelle Griswold (Executive Director of the Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut)[3] and Dr. C. Lee Buxton (a physician and professor at the Yale School of Medicine)[4] opened a birth control clinic in New Haven, Connecticut, in order to test the contraception law once again.[5] Shortly after the clinic was opened, Griswold and Buxton were arrested, tried, found guilty, and fined $100 each.[5] The conviction was upheld by the Appellate Division of the Circuit Court, and by the Connecticut Supreme Court.[6] Griswold then appealed her conviction to the Supreme Court of the United States. Griswold argued that the Connecticut statute against the use of contraceptives was contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states, "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...nor deny any person the equal protection of the laws," (Amendment 14 Section 1).[7] The U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the Connecticut Statute was unconstitutional."
Right-wingers owning newspapers print Coulter because they have no facts, just like the fatcats who own Fox News.
They inflame rather than inform.
