It's no big surprise to me that they did this. It took them almost 2 years to get the first case up to where it is now it may take another 2 years for them to decide if they have a winable case and to go forward with it. You can see this one ending up before the supreme court.

I would think they will go through with it because the core of this case is that the community standard does not matter in cases with the internet. If it is allowed to stand that in cases like this the community standard doesn't exist then it will greatly reduce thier ability to go after websites.

Gonzales is, like all of bush's cabinet now, just a yes man. He will do whatever he is told to do. You know bush still caters the the conservative christian right so he will continue to move forward with these things. How much he achieves is yet to be seen
