<<Any suggestions, strictly from your "public observer" point-of-view? >>
It sounds like he would do well in a "pubic" sector job -- they often require little competence since almost everything is close enough for government work -- with apologies to any competent pubic servant reading this.
If I understood his position it is that he needs the credit card numbers and identities of people for the purpose of determining whether they have conspired with Plaintiff to post public material. If he already knows who they are so he has some kind of a factual basis to allege that they are associates of and conspired with Plaintiff, then he likely does not need SI or RB to disclose their identity. If he does not know who they are, how could he possibly have a good faith factual basis for alleging an association and conspiracy. If he does not already know the identities, it looks to be nothing more than a harassing fishing expedition.
As for the credit cards, I am still scratching my head to figure out what the Hades that has to do with anything beyond harassment. You think he-they is-are looking for a way to get the legal fees paid? Nah, they would not even think about conspiring to do that. Or would they? To be safe, subpoena their credit card numbers from someone. I bet they would be happy to let it be disclosed just because someone else wants it.
If he thinks that the court order binds anyone who knows about it, he has some fundamental problems either reading, comprehending what he has read, or knowing the legal effect of it. Based on what I have read, however, none of that should surprise me.
Egregiously public, indeed!
