From: Mike Godwin <mnemonic () well com> This is not just a victory for the Internet -- it's a victory for all Americans, everywhere. The Court has reaffirmed that we can be trusted to make our own content choices for ourselves and for our children, and that speech on the Internet should be no less restricted than speech in the New York Times or the Boston Globe. To quote Alexander Meiklejohn's comment more than 30 years ago about a different but equally important First Amendment decision (New York Times Inc. v. Sullivan), the Court's ruling today is "an occasion for dancing in the streets." --Mike
