I should have read your first post more carefully before posting.

Thanks for the correction and also thanks for adding the diff between slander and libel. I find that remains extremely confusing not only for laymen (and laywomen) but also even for those in the journalism biz.

I also agree with your point about the bush-packed courts. Who knows what will become of the 1st amendment once the bushbots are done with it. I still can't believe that journalists who did not publishing anything about the plame leak are facing jail. Boggles the mind.
