Bloggers suit not thrown out by the Judge
In this article from the Courier, KY_BLOCKED_WEB_SITES we see the judge decided against dropping the case and has referred it to a federal magistrate.
The case deals with the blocking of web sites by the Fletcher administration. The blogger who filed the suit had routinely blogged on public issues and public officials including Fletcher and his administration.
This will certainly test some new waters in the free speech arena and challenge the blocking of selected sites by administrations that do not like criticism.
We’ll anxiously await the decision from the federal magistrate.

I would not get my hopes up too much, HB. Although I am not an attorney, I would hazard a guess that there is a difference with the government doing it.
I do agree that it will be interesting to see what happens. May hinge on how much of an "activist" the judge is.(smile)
Who's anxiously waiting? The only computers blocked are ones that should be used for work related activities. No ones personal computer is affected is it?
