Here Howard Bashman posts news of a decision in an extremely important case. Frankly, I don't know why Howard didn't put more emphasis on this news as its importance cannot be exaggerated. I discussed this case myself here and the news that the California Supreme Court rejected extending California's personal jurisdiction statute to cover this case is important news for all persons who publish websites or participate in internet discussions of all types. Above Howard links to reporting by Denise Howell who has been doing a great job of covering this case.
Steve Verdon discussed a Thomas Sowell column that mentioned California Supreme Court Justice Janice Brown ( note my remarkss on some snarking stuff in the comments ) - interestingly, in this case Justice Brown authored the majority opinion which protected Internet authors from all being hauled into California for any cause of action.
