For those of you waiting for an injunction on 2257...

Ok now I was just talking with my old roomate who is a paralegal and she works on the federal level.

I'll have her come over here and signup and post she is reading the whole law again top to bottom

"Therefore only the Free Speech Coalition and its members will be covered by an injunction and only to the extent the injunction restricts the government enforcement. "

This statement might be true in other non federal law cases but it will not apply here as this is already a federal law and any adjustments or injunctions will affect the whole country not just one or two certain groups of people. This law can be amended but cannot include or exclude certain parties.

That would be like a law being passed that its legal to smoke pot if your name is green guy but if your name is cleo its againt the law to smoke herb.

And if this statement was true how would the government know who to prosecute and who not to prosecute Unless Your names are handed over to the feds.

I've been following this thread with great interest.

I'm certainly not a lawyer, but if an injunction is issued by a court against the proposed 2257 law, common sense (at least IMO) dictates that the result will have effect for everybody, not just the party who actually filed for an injunction.

True. But, what does common sense have to with law and government?

Heh. It often looks that way, doesn't it.

The one thing keeping me moderately sane right now is my belief that, ultimately, it does make sense, and it does work. There are a lot of ways for any of us to get run through the wringer, but ultimately the US legal system works, most of the time. We only hear about the times when it goes terribly, terribly wrong.

No, I'm not lying in a field of daisies drawing sweet, sweet relief from a well-stocked hookah. Just another anxious webmaster trying to find my zen place.

As long as we have a religious fundamentalist/nazi/retard for president, probably very little.
