Comments on: Update: Speechless in Seattle https://www.overlawyered.com/2007/04/update-speechless-in-seattle/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Wed, 28 May 2008 16:21:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: David Nieporent https://www.overlawyered.com/2007/04/update-speechless-in-seattle/comment-page-1/#comment-7101 Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:50:10 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/wpblog/?p=4842#comment-7101 I wouldn’t get too excited about this as a victory for free speech; the majority opinion expressly declined to rule on this as a constitutional free speech case (and indeed implied that it might not be). Its ruling was based soley on the fact that the relevant Washington statute had an exemption for news media outlets.

(The concurring opinion was much better.)
