Tasini's late father, Betsalel Tasini, was a computer scientist who was born in Palestine and fought in the Haganah, Israel's pre-state army, and its strike force, the Palmach.

Tasini was the lead plaintiff in the case of New York Times Co. v. Tasini, in which the U. S. Supreme Court ruled ( in June 2001 ) in favor of the copyright claims of writers whose work was republished in electronic databases without their permission.

Tasini was endorsed by a number of prominent political activists, including Susan Sarandon, Cindy Sheehan, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Howard Zinn.

Tasini was supported by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who had in October said of Clinton, " I will resist her candidacy with every bit of my power and strength ... I will not make the mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president again.

Tasini remains the president emeritus of the NWU, which has suffered a decline in membership in recent years.
