June 27 Update. We have posted an html copy of the stipulated order in FSC v. Gonzales. Prepared from the Acrobat .pdf original on file with the Court in Denver, it is the agreement between the Free Speech Coalition and the Department of Justice.

We have posted also a comprehensive five-column table, breaking down the original, proposed, and finally promulgated Part 75 Regulations (implementing Section 2257), section by section, subparagraph by subparagraph to compare changes, highlighting changes in color, and extracting from the official DOJ commentary those particular statements that seem associated with the respective parts of the regulation. Anyone who has read through the DOJ Commentary knows that there is no obvious order to the various treatments and that there is no handy way to correlate the DOJ comments to the Sections and their paragraphs.

It was obvious to us that the disorder of the DOJ Commentary interfered with understanding, and accordingly, we resolved to parse the Commentary out in an ordered fashion associating its text with the portions of the Regulation to which the text related. This table is the result of four weeks of work by four persons associated with this Law Office and we believe that it should help clarify the meaning and intent of DOJ as expressed in the various provisions of the new Regulation. Although it cannot eliminate the contradictions and inconsistencies among the various provisions of the final Regulation, it may clarify some as it more boldly highlight others.

We also mantain on this site our preliminary three-column table merely highlighting and identifying changes from the original and proposed regulations throught the final regulation.
