I miss the Groklaw blow-by-blow (with "secret sauce" insight added) on
this trial, but it's just _so_ cool to see how many other sites are picking up
the slack.

So, now that both sides have to name their paid bloggers ... are we going to
learn PJ's real name and source of income?

No? Oh, well. I'll have a popcorn and caramel apple--no, not THAT apple, it's
rotten to the core.

I think this might run into issues.

Imagine for a moment that a politician gets sued. (Could happen, y'know? Not
often *enough*, but enough to be an example...) Then he gets hit with this kind
of disclosure - what would be the boundaries around it?

I'm not saying I think they should be protected from that - I'm a bit undecided,
because I think there are possibilities for abuse here that I need to think
through some more - but I'm convinced that certain Congresscritters may want to
make absolutely sure they're never on the squeezed end of this particular set of
tongs.
