Government Files Motion To Dismiss In 2257 Case
 

Mark Kernes has written an analysis of the DOJ's motion to dismiss and posted it on the FSC website.

Mark writes,

DENVER - The first sentence of the U.S. Department of Justice's Motion to Dismiss and/or Motion for Summary Judgment in the case of Free Speech Coalition (FSC) v. Gonzales reads, "Plaintiffs? 32-count challenge to 18 U.S.C. §2257 and its implementing regulations establishes only that the number of claims in a complaint does not reflect their merit." Not the most auspicious or substantive beginning to a motion which the government undoubtedly hopes will kill the adult industry as we know it ? and what follows tracks both the government's anger with the industry and its lack of firm ground upon which to challenge FSC's arguments.

yup - posted yesterday :(

This article has much more in depth background, a discussion of the ramifications of the motion and much more. The article is a little long; but, as usual, Mark has written and excellent analysis of the situation.
