Today's been a good day for slapping down the asshats. Not only did the Justice in Alabama get suspended, but Fox's bid to stop the publication of Al Franken's book (the media trying to chill free speech ... amazing) was slapped down by the courts. To quote the judge:
Quote:
"There are hard cases and there are easy cases. This is an easy case," said U.S. District Judge Denny Chin. "This case is wholly without merit both factually and legally."
"Parody is a form of artistic expression protected by the First Amendment. The keystone to parody is imitation. Mr. Franken is clearly mocking Fox," said Chin.

Hooray for sanity.
