You don't think that if FR loses that the case wouldn't be used a precedent and applied in multiple ways thereafter to other first amendment cases? If FR should lose, God forbid, but I believe every newspaper that publishes on line will be seeking the same monetary damages from every other website that has used their material.

Re: the possible precedent, I will defer to the legal experts on that. I think it would, though.

My point is:
I honestly believe that FR has set in motion a conservative online "revolution", for lack of a better term.
I think that there is a better than even chance that FR could... perish the thought... be forced to shut down.

They may cut off FR but, like the Hydra, two more sites like it will pop up in its place.
The media is running scared because they know that more and more people are aware of their bias.
This suit is nothing more than an attempt to stifle conservative views.

In short, the LAT & WP can stifle FR... but they can't stifle all of us!

LET'S ROLL.
