Judge reverses self on Wikileaks

EssEffChron

(02-29) 17:35 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge in San Francisco who had ordered the shutdown of a whistle-blowers' Web site where private bank documents were posted changed his mind Friday, conceding his original ruling might not have been constitutional.

I guess the judge would rather reverse himself than have the state court of appeals do it.

As he announced his ruling, White observed that he was encountering "a definite disconnect between the evolution of our constitutional jurisprudence and modern technology."

Thanks for pullin' yer head outta yer ass, Your Honor. Bright out here in the 21st century ain't it?
