FREE SPEECH UPDATE: Blogger Gag Order Quashed By Judge. “A judge on Monday lifted the harassment prevention order against local blogger Dan Valenti that had kept him from writing about Meredith Nilan and forced him to remove old blog posts about her. . . . District Court Judge Bethzaida Sanabria-Vega on June 27 ordered Valenti to remove references to the Pittsfield woman from his Planet Valenti blog.”

No order of remedial Constitutional Law courses for Judge Bethzaida Sanabria-Vega, alas. Congrats to the Western Massachusetts chapter of the ACLU for taking a hand.
