When you sue someone you want to make sure you can at least recover the legal costs. Suing anonymous bloggers doesn't sound like any case a lawyer would take,.

I've known journalists who felt protections they have under the first amendment( and case law) - do NOT extend to 'citizen' journalists. For some of them, taking away our ability to compete with them - sitting in our pajamas in front of computer screens - is the holy grail - the grail that will return their gatekeeper status. It's not a question of some store front lawyer getting a percentage... it's much bigger.

If suing anyone for criticizing them was so easy then Palin would have done it for that REAL book that claimed she used Cocaine and other stuff.

Dems are getting away with so much stuff, I don't know why you are going down this dead end.
