I love this quote -- a state representative from Kentucky admits that his bill banning anonymous blog comments is probably unconstitutional:
In response to a constituent whose high school daughter had been the target of derogatory comments online, Tim Couch, a state representative for Kentucky’s 90th District, filed a bill to make it mandatory for people to register before posting to a blog.
“I’m not pursuing the bill, because it’s probably unconstitutional,” Mr. Couch said, “but the way I was looking at it, people who say something bad should have the guts to have their names attached.”
