Remember the Great Kentucky Blog Ban of 2006? Why, it was almost weeks ago, now, when Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) banned several blogs — he says, all of them — from state computers.
Today, the blogger at the center of the fiasco, Bluegrass Report’s Mark Nickolas, has fired back, filing a lawsuit against Fletcher and his administration. Nickolas isn’t looking for a big cash settlement, he just wants state employees to be able to read his blog. He’s being aided by the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group, Public Citizen, founded by Ralph Nader.
For those curious about Nikolas’ argument, check out his post on the topic.
