Book Banned by Government and Schiff Enjoined From Speaking

“As U.S. Forces seek to bring democracy to Iraq, the U.S. Government is seeking to eliminate it here. On Wednesday, March 19, 2003, Federal District Court Judge Lloyd D. George granted the Government’s Motion to ban Irwin Schiff from selling and distributing his book “The Federal Mafia: How The Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes.” “The Mafia,” first published in 1990, has sold over 75,000 copies and can be found in most libraries, including the UNLV law library. The banning of Schiff’s book was based on a hearing in which no Government witness testified under oath or could be cross-examined by Schiff. Schiff noted that Judge George banned the book without even reading it, and apparently saw it for the first time at the hearing.” (from PR Newswire)
