Fighting City Hall--And Winning

Bronx prosecutors tries to frighten the bloggers on "Room 8," a blog about New York politics by subpoenaing the names of the anonymous bloggers on that site and told them that "even telling people the subpoena existed could be "obstruction of justice." Which means they don't want anybody knowing they're trying to "strong-arm" a blogger be citing a very SUBJECTIVE definition of the law. Well, they "picked on the wrong guys, who got a lawyer and had the subpoena withdrawn. But don't think their troubles are over. Politicians who "get hurt" by a blog telling the truth about them will try again . . .and again . . .and again. What amazes me is they think they can keep people from even MENTIONING the existence of a legal order, which is public information. I think this whole thing shows how much such politicians FEAR blogs and think they can intimidate them. (Common Sense)
