Citizens United Instant Analysis: SCOTUS First. Justice Kennedy’s Opinion Uses the Word “BLOG” for the first time! AMK FTW!
On page 49 of the Slip Opinion, Justice Kennedy uses the word Blog:
Soon, however, it may bethat Internet sources, such as blogs and social networking Web sites, will provide citizens with significant informa-tion about political candidates and issues. Yet, §441b would seem to ban a blog post expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate if that blog were createdwith corporate funds.
I just did a quick search of Westlaw, and this is the FIRST time the Supreme Court has ever used the word blog. As a blogger, I am ecstatic!
Justice Kennedy also cites YouTube!
Modern day movies, television comedies, or skits onYoutube.com might portray public officials or public poli-cies in unflattering ways.
AMK FTW!
