The Johnny Northside decision, covered online by the Citizen Media Law Project.

This link. Read it there. It is fairly short, tightly and well written, and interesting.

That is a good website, if you agree with its strong First Amendment biases - that free speech has to be strongly protected by the law, without any back door ways to undermine it, or we lose much as a nation.

Hon. Denise Reilly (this link)
While this may be an oversimplification, while reading that item and its quite clear analysis, I thought again of my own state of mind, incredulity, when reading Judge Reilly's final order-memorandum. Then, and I am not clear of the synaptic detail, my mind reached back somewhat far into the past, a recollection from Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" where one character was described as "having lots of intelligence and no brains."

Heller foresaw Judge Reilly's analysis? Amazing.
